Awards presented by institutional bodies carry with them the responsibility of representing values and traditions, and are symbols of prestige and recognition that last a lifetime. Aware of this, at Tributus we create pieces that honor that responsibility. How? That’s what we’ll find out in this article.

The awards represent institutions and memories

An institutional award is almost always presented at public ceremonies that celebrate or mark solemn occasions or commemorative dates, such as tributes to distinguished citizens by city councils, recognition of a student’s academic merit or a teacher’s dedication, expressions of gratitude for service to the country, and the promotion of innovation, among others.
And each of these awards conveys not only recognition but also an institutional identity. For this very reason, they are unique and personalized pieces, tailored to the context and the values that the organization wishes to highlight.

Awards that symbolize prestige and innovation

Institutional awards also stand out from the rest due to their simplicity and elegance—characteristics associated with rigor and excellence—which are often expressed in pieces with classic, uninspired designs. Breaking with tradition, Tributus has created awards for city councils, schools, and public entities that maintain a prestigious and solemn character, yet are innovative in terms of custom design and the use of recycled, eco-friendly, and sustainable materials.
• the Award from the Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro School Complex, made of cork and wood;
• the Engrenagem Award, from the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Porto, made of wood and recycled Trafolite (plastic);
• the Award Pimpão 2022;
• The Award Prestige Urban Planning 2024, made of cork and dark wood;

Receiving an institutional award is a unique moment in the life of a person, club, or company, and symbolizes a public and official gesture of recognition, appreciation, and esteem—an honor. Aware of the impact these awards have, Tributus is committed to producing awards with purpose and respect, worthy of the honor they represent.
