Which New York firm manufactures the American Music Awards statuette?
Answer
Society Awards
Society Awards manufactures the American Music Awards statuette.
The company is a custom award-design and manufacturing firm associated with many prominent entertainment trophies. Its work includes the statuettes for awards such as the American Music Awards, Emmy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, GLAAD Media Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and MTV awards.
The “New York firm” wording reflects the company’s New York origins and its long association with the city’s trophy-design industry. Society Awards later expanded its operations: its production work has included a large facility in Grove, Oklahoma, and the company opened a main headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2020.
A common mix-up is to choose a luxury jeweler such as Tiffany & Co. because the AMA trophy has a polished, high-end appearance. Bennett Awards and R.S. Owens are also known award manufacturers, but Society Awards is the firm identified with the American Music Awards statuette.
