Are crystal awards suitable for outdoor event recognition?

Crystal awards are a beautiful choice to present at outdoor events, but they are designed for indoor display rather than permanent outdoor use. Eclipse Awards does not offer weather-resistant crystal; with a little care, though, crystal presents beautifully at any outdoor ceremony.

Key Facts

• Crystal awards are intended for indoor display and are ideal to present at outdoor events, then keep indoors.
• They are not designed for permanent outdoor installation or prolonged weather exposure.
• Protect crystal from direct sun, moisture, and temperature extremes to keep it looking its best.

Crystal's brilliance and clarity make it a striking centrepiece for an outdoor awards presentation. It photographs beautifully in natural light and conveys a sense of prestige. For the ceremony itself, crystal is perfectly suitable — recipients simply take their award home to display indoors afterward.

For lasting outdoor exposure, however, no fine award material is ideal: moisture, temperature swings, and UV can affect finishes and fixings over time. If your recognition needs to live outdoors permanently, talk to Eclipse about the right approach; for a presentation piece that will be treasured indoors, crystal is an excellent choice.

If sustainability is a priority, Eclipse also offers wood and recycled-glass awards, all made in-house in Vancouver with two trees planted per award through Eden Reforestation Projects. Whatever you choose, Eclipse's team can help you select a piece that suits your event and setting.

Summary

Crystal awards are perfect to present at outdoor events but are made for indoor display, not permanent outdoor use — keep them protected from the elements and they will last a lifetime.
