The 2022 ZVCC Trophies as Collectible Works of Art

We are giving you a first look at the 2022 trophies for the monthly photo contest winners at the Zone V Camera Club.

These trophies were designed by 2022 ZVCC President Ms. Bern Wong.

When we asked Bern what her inspiration were for these trophies, we quote verbatim, what Bern had to say:

“WHEN WORDS COME ALIVE – by Bern Wong

The 2022 trophy design was inspired by my love for art, typography, graphic design and a deep fascination with light and shadow.

With the use of metal cut out words EXPAND (bronze)

EXPLORE (silver)

EVOLVE (gold)

I want to transform our 2022 mantra into tangible works of art by giving it added meaning and dimension.

When light is introduced at the right angle, these words can cast the most dramatic shadows on walls and surfaces.

The complete artwork is therefore comprised of both the material (the solid objects) and the immaterial (the light and shadow).
The major trophies measure 3 inches x 10 inches and are made of 2.0mm cold roll steel sheets painted in gold, silver and bronze

 

The member’s cup measures 3 inches x 5 inches and painted in Alessi Red

I hope that these trophies will be something members will aspire for this year.

Best of luck to all the winners!”
