I will be throwing in some ATLTF stickers for the top 3. This will be a given! Should you want toss in a sponsor. Let us know. As we mentioned, it is planned to be a bragging rights thing at this point!

A trophy is a good idea! Should keep it small and light due to shipping costs these days though! Lol. Maybe members could donate small tractor or engine parts and other bits to build it so it's a community built trophy eh?!
I'll donate a custom "2022 ATLTF Build Off Winner!" Vinyl decal or something similar to the champ!

Right now, it isn't an issue, but keep in mind we have MANY Canadian friends and other places too. Shipping across borders is much more. With Covid, even slower.

Someone here must have artistic skills. How about a ‘virtual trophy’ that gets passed around each year. That way, no shipping hassle or anything. The winner can print the trophy and hang it in the mancave or where ever.
You should make a simple trophy, with like a single piston or something like that, and as it gets passed around the winners every year they each add a piece to it?
I personally would be willing to make a trophy and depending on price, send some parts out to someone who has decent skill in that stuff but may not have access to those type of parts.

So what kind of trophy style are we looking at? If it is going to be a trophy that is passed on to the next winner maybe the the current winner has to add something to so it is sort of always changing, an easy way to do that would be to use a customized digital picture frame, they are light for shipping and adding pictures year after year would be easy and I'd like that hanging up somewhere slide showing various tractors and the people that made them.
Maybe just a screen saver trophy, it is free easy to transfer and easy to add to and anyone could download it.
I like the plaque form with a spot for a 5"x7" picture of the winner with their rig. This is something I'd proudly hang in my garage if I were the winner.
or a 3D wood cut puzzle of a spring powered tractor that has to be put together, it's not personalized though. I'd buy and donate one of these.
Not all good idea's, maybe no good idea's I'm just throwing things out there off the top of my head.(sorry going to sleep now- )
