We recommend and proof
We suggest the piece, material and engraving layout, then proof every line before anything is produced.

Frequently asked questions
- Can Believe In Signs help me choose the right award?
- Yes. Tell us who is being recognized and what the occasion is, and our team will recommend award styles, materials and personalization that fit — employee recognition, student achievement, athletic honors, volunteer appreciation, leadership awards or service milestones.
- How do I send a recipient list for personalization?
- Upload a spreadsheet with your recipient list on the Start an Awards Project form, or send it to our team later. We proof every engraving line before anything is produced.
- Do you offer engraving?
- Yes. Custom engraving is available on plaques, crystal and acrylic awards, trophies, medals and many recognition pieces. Logos, dates, titles and names can all be included.
- Can you support perpetual plaques we already have?
- Often, yes. Share photos and measurements of the existing board and we'll review nameplate sizing and engraving so new plates match what's already mounted.
- How far ahead should we start an awards project?
- As early as you can. Personalized awards involve design, proofing and production, so contact us as soon as your ceremony, banquet or tournament date is set and we'll confirm what's realistic for the pieces you want.
