Took a quick whack at it. More than happy to do any changes, revisions, etc.
@Beaker had a motto: Be kind always. I did my best to translate in latin, and figured it was very fitting.

Nice! Not sure about the latin unless a bonified latin speaker wants to double check it. Looks great. We are finalizing the design and I’m thinking we will have the award made, official vote closed and announced by Feb 22 (F42H anniversary.)

I absolutely love this idea. It might be nice to have an annual event–could be virtual, or have a virtual component-- to celebrate the forum. I know we have the meetups, but maybe a more structured event would be cool. The Beaker Award should be annual for sure. I miss him.

I’d be down to host an annual event. Maybe late summer? Cali or CO perhaps? We can always use the farm if people wanna come this far out

@future is the only nominee that I skipped because the optics on that don’t feel right.

Any thoughts on the art or any more submissions?

I am leaning towards using what we have from beakers collection, plus a plaque both engraved.
That keeps it simple. If someone wants to make/source the stanley cup idea thats cool too.
Are the 12 flasks all we have? a big boiling flask for the staney cup idea?

Specifically for the artwork, id love to see your submission on a plaque. Always hard to tell from a drawing.

we have 12 small kugelrohr bulbs. probably 50ml. not certain.
I should be home in about a week. I’ll go through the glassware again then.
I don’t believe there is a whole lot more. although his bell jar comes to mind.

Maybe we etch those bulbs, and put a cap (plug) on one end that acts as a stand as well?
Like this but with a broader head?

I could make a wood or steel version on the front of the plaque.
