For Distinguished Authors

Your award, in your hands

Hand-blown glass, made to order and engraved to your wording, with one hundred Distinguished Author seals. Shipped anywhere in the world.

Who this is for. The trophy is available to authors whose books have been recognized by the International Impact Book Awards. It is not sold to the public, and it cannot be bought for a book that has not been through evaluation.

The difference between the two is international shipping, which is built into the outside-USA price rather than added at checkout. Customs duties, where a country charges them, are not included. You do not need to decide your engraving now. We email you for it after you order.

Due to increased UPS shipping costs resulting from rising fuel prices, we have had to adjust our product pricing accordingly. This increase reflects higher transportation expenses beyond our control. We appreciate your understanding and continued support.

Coming to the gala? Your trophy is included with your registration for The Impact Honors & Gala Weekend, so there is no need to order one here.

What's included

One

The award trophy

Hand-blown glass, made to order. The same trophy presented on stage at our galas.

Because every trophy is blown by hand, no two are ever the same. Yours is not taken from a shelf. It is made after you order it, and the shape it takes belongs to you alone.

  • Engraved with up to 25 characters
  • Sized for a desk, a shelf, or a studio
  • We email you after you order to confirm the exact wording

Two

One hundred Distinguished Author seals

The emblem as a physical foil seal, a hundred of them in the box.

  • For printed book covers, including stock you already hold
  • For press kits, portfolios, and anything you hand someone in person
  • Enough to seal a case of books and still have plenty left

Want more than one box? Add up to three extra boxes at checkout, four hundred seals in total. We cap it at three so there are enough to go round every author we recognize.

Before you order

The practical details

EngravingUp to 25 characters. After you order we email you to ask what you would like, and nothing is engraved until you reply.

DeliveryTen to twelve weeks. Each trophy is blown by hand and engraved after you order, which is what the time is for. We always aim to be quicker than that. Your trophy and your seals ship from different places and usually arrive on different days, so do not worry if one turns up without the other.

Ordering from outside the USAUse the second button. International shipping is included in the $449 price. Customs duties, where your country charges them, are not.

Extra boxes of sealsUp to three additional boxes can be added at checkout. If you need more than that for a print run or an event, write to us and we will see what we can do.

Your certificateYour Certificate of Recognition was sent to you digitally when your recognition was announced, and there is no printed one in this package. It prints beautifully on heavy paper or card if you would like it framed. Ask us if you need another copy of the file.

If something arrives damagedPhotograph it and email us. We will replace it. Trophies travel a long way and occasionally the journey shows.

Attending an eventDistinguished Authors who attend the Impact Honors & Gala Weekend receive their trophy in person, on stage.

From our founder

Some of the most impactful authors I have met may never walk across a stage, yet their stories have changed lives. This recognition package was created from my heart. It is my way of ensuring that every author we honor can hold their achievement, feel seen, and know their work matters.

You do not need a spotlight to be worthy of recognition. Your impact already speaks for itself.
