Just imagine the impact your acrylic awards will make when they take centre stage at your glittering awards ceremony.

Acrylic is such a tactile material so when it’s turned into acrylic awards the effect is simply stunning.

With its smooth surfaces and shiny, crystal-like appearance, acrylic awards can also be given a more textured finish if that’s what you prefer.

Your design will appear to float in the middle of the acrylic awards, forever frozen in time just like an insect in amber.

Otherwise known as Lucite, acrylic can be shaped into a limitless range of sizes and shapes, giving the utmost flexibility in your choice of acrylic awards design.

By choosing a professional, experienced acrylic awards specialist you will see your ideas shaped and formed into a stylish final piece, ready for your award winners to enjoy for many years to come.

Lucite acrylic is a high quality product that enables the manufacturer working with it to produce a good quality Lucite tombstone.

Its versatility allows it to be custom designed in a variety of shapes and sizes, incorporating many different types of embedded elements – ideal for Lucite tombstone products.

However, occasionally things cannot be embedded due to a chemical reaction when the Lucite acrylic is put through the manufacturing process.

Lucite acrylic, used in the production of a Lucite tombstone, was invented by the DuPont Corporation in 1931.

Crystal clear with a 93 per cent transparency rate, resistant to water and UV rays, long before it was used for a Lucite tombstone, it became the material of choice for WWII aircraft windows.

Shortly after the war acrylic embedments were manufactured for the first time and over time a Lucite tombstone became a familiar product offered by manufacturers.

These days many companies will produce a Lucite tombstone as part of a wide range of services – whether it be for an award or to mark a special anniversary.

Summer seemed to have arrived early on Sunday 27th March, as the press and the stars turned out to celebrate the Jameson Empire Awards 2011 in their most sunshine-friendly threads. Taking place at the exclusive Grosvenor House Hotel, smack-bang in the centre of Park Lane, the rich and famous began making their way down the red carpet in the late afternoon, wearing huge smiles for the press.

The award that was created for the winners to take away was stunning as usual, with the award being at home on the shelves or display cabinets of winners.

A highlight of our year is the British Healthcare Trades Association Awards Dinner, which last year was held at the Tower Hotel, London in early December. Despite the ice and snow, a tremendous evening was enjoyed by all the guests. Each of the fifteen winners took away an eye-catching personalised trophy designed and produced by Jamy. It was the first time we had use the company but it will not the last because we were impressed by the design, the value, their customer care and attention to detail.

New initiative BAFTA Young Game Designers, a competition giving teams of children aged 11-16 the chance to design their very own video games, was won by Beached Whale Productions (Dan Pearce, 16; Sam Taylor, 16 and James Cook, 13) for their game design HAMSTER: accidental world domination.

The winners were announced at the glittering EA British Academy Children’s Awards on 28 November 2010. As well as winning a BAFTA YGD trophy each and a selection of computer games hardware, each member of the team will be offered the opportunity to work at game design company EA so they can experience how real game designers work.

Congratulations to all three nominated teams and everyone who entered BAFTA Young Game Designers 2010. The judges were hugely impressed with the remarkably high standard of entries.

Prior to joining Jamy, Jac had worked extensively in the design industry in Spain. She will be responsible for the graphic design department in Jamy, taking clients briefs and turning them into the fantastic awards that Jamy are well known for. Jac has experience of both design, print and the software that is used to produce the different awards. With manufacturing experience since 1983 we offer a flexible approach to the production of one-offs or thousands according to your requirements.

Designers like the mix of materials offered here at Jamy Ltd., as it gives them lots of scope and options. Although acrylic led, we work in wood, glass, metal, slate and leather. Reflective luminous and low voltage LED lighting can also be used. You may specify branded acrylic such as Perspex, Repsol, Plexiglas, Madreperla and Lucite and if you’re not sure our experienced team will advise you according to your needs.

It is this way of working that gives our clients great peace of mind that they’re getting the best balance, the most appropriate materials for their needs and more importantly, competitively priced. It’s worth knowing that cast acrylic is a fully recyclable material, making it very environmentally friendly, and you’ll find that here at Jamy Ltd we recycle more than 95% of the ‘waste’ material created in the process before using the reclaimed materials to create awards and plaques.

The product awards are decided by a panel of judges, including members of the Practical Photography and Digital Photo editorial teams and representatives from photographic retailers. However, the three retailer awards of “Best Online Retailer”, “Best Specialist Retailer” (less than 12 stores) and “Best Retailer” (any number of stores) are voted for by a collection of far more important people – the customers, with readers of the magazines and the website having cast their votes over the past few months for their favourite retailers, along with the “Best Processing Service”.

Consistent winners

For the past 8 years Warehouse Express have won the coveted “Best Online Retailer” award and, with this being the extra-special 25th Anniversary of the awards, they were hoping to make it 9 in a row. However, this year things were slightly different – not only were they nominated in the “Best Online Retailer” category, but thanks to their superb showroom and improvements made to Warehouse Express over the past year or so, 2010 also saw them nominated in the “Best Specialist Retailer” section. The results of the vote and the judging would not be known until the awards ceremony itself, which took place on Thursday 9th September.

Compères for the awards were Digital Photo Editor John Adams and Practical Photography’s Editor-in-Chief Andrew James. The two of them make a rather good double act as presenters – much Like Ant and Dec, but far more likeable. And as anyone who attended last year’s awards will tell you, the pair make an impressive Irish dancing duo. This is the link to the winners: Click here to see the winners.

Jamy produced the acrylic awards that you see in the picture. We were commissioned to produce 20 of the awards, and as normal, had a tight deadline. As you can see from the photo, we produced a splendid result, which we are sure takes pride of place on the winners shelves.
