The best corporate awards are those that reflect the significance of the achievement and the values of your organisation. Premium handcrafted awards made from high-quality materials such as glass are a popular choice because they create a lasting impression and become meaningful keepsakes rather than simply another trophy.

When choosing a corporate award, consider the occasion, your brand, your budget and the message you want recipients to remember. Employee recognition awards, leadership awards, business excellence awards, long service awards and innovation awards all benefit from thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship.

At Contemporary Co, we specialise in handcrafted Australian-made corporate awards that are individually created in South Australia and customised with your logo, recipient names and event details. Our collections have been trusted by businesses, government departments, universities, charities and industry organisations across Australia to celebrate excellence with awards that recipients are proud to display for years to come.

Whether you're recognising one outstanding individual or delivering a national awards program, choosing a premium handcrafted award helps create a memorable presentation and lasting recognition.

Explore our Australian-made corporate awards, including the Twilight Series Glass Awards, Flame Glass Awards and custom handcrafted awards for business, government and industry ceremonies.

For custom corporate gifts and awards, allowing 2–6 weeks is ideal, particularly for handcrafted pieces that require design, production, engraving, packaging and delivery.

That said, our team is pretty magic and while we can't work miracles overnight, we can often get surprisingly close! If you have a tight deadline, it's always worth asking.

Most custom orders can be produced within approximately one week. If engraving is required, we generally recommend allowing an additional 5 business days, plus shipping time. Express freight is available for urgent projects.

For in-stock items, we can usually dispatch the same day or next business day. As always, freight timelines can occasionally be outside our control, so the more notice you can provide, the better.

The best corporate gifts are the ones people genuinely want to keep. They feel thoughtful, personal and reflect the quality and values of the organisation giving them.

Increasingly, businesses are moving away from generic branded merchandise and choosing meaningful Australian-made gifts that create a lasting impression. Many recipients are looking for something they can proudly display in their home or workplace - a piece that sparks conversation, holds a memory and reminds them of the achievement or relationship it represents.

This is one of the reasons art and handcrafted gifts are becoming increasingly popular. Not only do they support Australian artists and makers, they also become beautiful objects that people genuinely enjoy living with long after the event has passed.

For executive gifts and recognition pieces, we often recommend keeping engraving subtle and elegant. Our pieces are designed to stand on their own as beautiful works of art, ensuring they feel timeless rather than promotional.

For awards programs, there is also the excitement of the presentation itself. Organisations want something that looks impressive on stage, photographs beautifully and creates a memorable moment when recipients are recognised in front of their peers.

Popular choices include custom corporate awards, hand-blown glass sculptures, executive wine gifts, artisan homewares and bespoke recognition pieces that recipients are proud to display for years to come.

For us, choosing Australian-made gifts is about much more than where a piece is made. It’s about supporting the talented artists, makers and small businesses behind every piece.

As a South Australian business, it means a great deal to our founder and creative director to champion local craftsmanship and help support Australian families, creative industries and regional communities. When you choose an Australian-made corporate gift, you're not only giving something beautiful and unique, you're investing in the people and stories behind it.

The result is a gift with greater authenticity, craftsmanship and meaning — something recipients genuinely value and remember long after it is received.

Yes. We are incredibly proud that every Contemporary Co award, corporate gift and recognition piece is 100% Australian made and Australian owned.

Supporting Australian artists, makers and small businesses has been at the heart of what we do for almost 20 years. By working directly with talented Australian creatives, we're able to offer handcrafted pieces that celebrate local craftsmanship, support Australian industry and create meaningful connections through gifting and recognition.

We proudly collaborate with and support organisations that champion Australian manufacturing and locally made products, including the Australian Made Campaign. For us, it's about much more than where a piece is made - it's about supporting Australian families, creative industries and regional communities while ensuring every piece reflects the quality, authenticity and craftsmanship Australia is known for.

It's one of the things that makes Contemporary Co different, and something we're incredibly proud of.

Executive gifts should feel premium, thoughtful and worthy of display. Many of our clients choose pieces that blur the line between functional object and artwork — gifts that recipients are proud to showcase in their home or office rather than tuck away in a cupboard.

For this reason, we often recommend keeping engraving subtle and elegant, allowing the beauty of the piece to remain the hero while still commemorating the occasion.

Popular executive gifts include hand-blown glass awards, wine decanters and glasses, sculptural homewares, glass platters, limited-edition artworks and bespoke gift collections tailored to the recipient, occasion and budget.

Yes. Creating meaningful recognition pieces is at the heart of what we do.

We work with businesses, government departments, industry associations, universities, event agencies and not-for-profit organisations across Australia.

Over the years, we've been proud to create awards, recognition pieces and corporate gifts for Premier and Ministerial events, government departments, leading Australian businesses including ANZ and AMP, major organisations within the wine industry, sporting events and a wide range of industry awards programs.

From one-off executive gifts through to national awards programs, we work closely with our clients to create meaningful pieces that celebrate achievement, recognise contribution and leave a lasting impression.

The best employee recognition awards are meaningful, high-quality and designed to reflect the achievement being celebrated. Handcrafted glass awards are a popular choice because they feel premium, timeless and personal, making them ideal for recognising leadership, long service, innovation, teamwork, sales excellence and outstanding performance.

At Contemporary Co, we create Australian-made employee recognition awards that can be customised with your logo, recipient names and award details. Each piece is designed to feel special, not generic, helping organisations celebrate their people in a way that feels memorable and lasting.
