Using decorative plates as awards has become an increasingly attractive option simply because there are so many different variations and limitless designs, all while being fairly inexpensive due to the simple design, lack of complicated components, and the lack of needed materials due to the thin nature of plates. They are a refreshing departure from the traditional award, adding a bit of eye-catching interest to any room. As a bonus, the available decorating space tends to be fairly large on award plates.
