The QUEER Mini Trophy is a symbolic celebration of queer resilience, triumph, and the radical act of self-recognition. This special limited edition series of mini trophies is hand sculpted ceramic. The trophy cup is gilded in 24k gold (inside and out), while the base and handles are glazed.

With "QUEER" boldly displayed at the base, this trophy challenges the notion of who gets to be a winner. In a world where the idea that "everyone gets a participation trophy" often trivializes achievement, this trophy reclaims that idea, celebrating queer identity as an essential victory in itself.

With Jack Halberstam's notion in mind that failure is a form of queer success, this trophy stands as a defiant symbol of triumph. In a world that regularly refuses to acknowledge or celebrate queer identities, simply existing authentically becomes a radical act. This is more than a participation trophy—it’s a declaration that every queer victory, no matter how overlooked or marginalized, is a powerful disruption of the status quo. It honors those who dare to defy societal expectations and carve out spaces of visibility and pride in a world that often seeks to erase them.
