*Sorry it has taken us so long to get this first round to this point. This is our first go at making this special award a reality and we hit a few hurdles along the way. But we are learning and picking up momentum. Winners will receive their awards soon!

The first annual Backbone Awards are going to be late getting to the winners. We’re working through some casting challenges. The key part there is that we’re still working. Sorry for the delay. Updates here when we have them.

We started with spray painted 3D printed awards as a proof of concept. Now check out these shots of the sculpted plasticine (in process) version that will be used to create the casting molds for the official aluminum and bronze awards. 🤩

We're working with Ringo Lisko and Craig Wedderspoon the metal foundry at @UofAlabama to make these awards as great as the work they honor.
