Paper:  Pergamenata, 230 gsm

Inspiration:  No inspiration other than, while still in the design process, I decided to look at who all the previous award winners were and felt it might be nice to show to the current recipient who their predecessors were (71 previous awardees).  The CoA’s with black bands are those that have passed away.  Each CoA is about a little under 1/2 inch tall.  I tried to get as many of the individual design elements in each CoA as possible…but some were to intricate to get 100% accuracy and so I, instead, went for approximate likeness.
