Challenge Summary
Welcome to the TCO17 Championship Trophy Design Challenge! The goal of this challenge is to design a new, amazing trophy for the TCO17 Finals Champions.
We are looking for a new, prestigious trophy design that will still be custom made for our TCO Champions.
Design a trophy that is intended for the 2017 Topcoder Open. The past few years we’ve used the brackets trophy that looks like this. The new design should capture the essence and prestige of the Topcoder Open. And remember this trophy will be the same for all six tracks of competitions.
The new trophy design can be a cup shape, acrylic, or any other materials (except for crystal as that is very breakable!). We need you to be creative and have fun, the sky is the limit!
So just imagine you have just been named the TCO UI Design Champion - what kind of trophy would you want to hold up for your winner photo and display your shelf at home?
The following can be submitted:
- 3D or 2D design
- Drawings created in Photoshop, Illustrator, Sketch, or any other drawing software.
- Scanned drawings/sketch created with pencils and papers or any related materials or medium.
- Explain the intended materials, write or make a note which part is acrylic, which part is wood, etc...
