The Atlanta Trophy

The Trophy

The BASA Awards were established in 2019, and the founders met in Atlanta for the annual meeting and goal setting agenda. Among the topics discussed in the annual meeting was the design of a trophy to honor the winners. They agreed that the BASA winner would be awarded a majestic trophy that would inspire small business owners to participate in the awards and continue to strive for business excellence. A renowned sculptor, Ithaca, was then commissioned to design a trophy, depicting a woman reaching above her potential to touch the stars (per aspera ad astra).
