The 2021 Trophies, special 10th Year Anniversary Editing, are going out to the Individual Award Winners (see who won and send congratulations their way!)
Once again, these were designed by @Mario and 3D printed at the Fab Lab Kä Träre, at UNED, Distance State University of Costa Rica.
And indeed, the OE Awards Trophy will be sent again in 2023 to the winners in the Individual Awards category, thanks again to the mad skills of our guru OEG Creative Director @mario and the team from Fab Lab Kä Träre, UNED, Distance State University of Costa Rica who do the 3D printing.
I am trying to convince my team we should do an OEG Live episode when these are printed…
(hint-- maybe the Fab Lab deserves a nomination, anyone here can make that happen)
Somebody must have been listening as the Fab Lab Kä Träre was nominated and won a 2024 OE Award in the Wildcard category.
