THE GOLDEN FIDDLE AWARD

The Golden Fiddle Award is a distinctive, beautifully designed trophy, valued at more than AUD$1,000 each.
One Award of equal value and style will be made in each of seven categories for both winners and those who achieve highly commended awards.

Standing 47 cm tall, the Award clearly represents a violin, with a scroll modelled on a full size violin, surmounting a tall pyramid, containing an 18cm long 'f' hole on its front face.

Made of modern composite materials, the Award has a modern transparent finish and it coated with a protective oxide film rendering it impervious to attack.

Here is the prototype award in its initial colours, held by the three directors of the Golden Fiddle Awards Limited, Mark Mitchell, Marcus Holden and Andrew Clermont. The next picture shows the new awards from 2006.
