The AVA Statuette is designed to pay tribute to the magnificent history of the digital arts. The elegant woman holding the film reel aloft is a symbolic representation of the early days of the audio-visual industry. The film reel's morph into an array of cubes is symbolic of the evolution into digital interactivity and the web.

The AVA statuette is crafted by Society Awards, a high-end design and manufacturing firm that is recreating the awards industry. Over the past several years, Society Awards has redesigned many of the world's top creative awards, including The CLIOS, Golden Globes, MTV's VMA, Academy of Country Music and American Music Awards.

The shiny die-cast Ava statuette stands 13 inches tall and is presented in a Tiffany-style, satin-lined, presentation box.

Unlike most competitions, AVA entrants do not subsidize awards for the winners. Instead of charging up to several hundred dollars per entry, AVA keeps entry fees at a fraction of that cost by letting winners buy their own awards. The result is more affordable entry fees and a higher quality, piece of art winners and their clients are proud to display in their homes and offices. Platinum and Gold winners are eligible to purchase the statuette and presentation box for $195.
