Melissa Davies
Finalist: 2024 QEPrize Trophy
My design has a mix between traditional and contemporary looks. The overall trophy shape represents: a 'KEY' to unlock the amazing creation. It can also represent the key to open into the world of Engineering. I designed four engineering pillars of creation for the base to describe strength, determination, creativity, and problem solving. The missing triangle gaps on the trophy symbolise the space that can be filled with imagination and innovation.
The triangle (one of the strongest shapes) pattern illustrates not just one strong shape, but a team of triangles grouped together to help come this far. I wanted to showcase the beauty of geometry, and if you look down inside the trophy base, it has a hidden 4-point star shape! This portrays how this trophy will discover hidden stars in the Engineering world.
