Being a worldwide organization we reached out to three wonderful artists, each from a different country, that we knew could carry our vision into reality.
We knew we had to have something that rivaled other great trophies from around the world but with features true axe throwers could appreciate.
We knew we had to have a wooden trophy because without wood, there would be no axe throwing! We went to our favorite resident Canadian wood burning expert, Chris Burns.

He was able to construct a base he could burn with a section up top for an awesome custom axe. After assembling an awesome base for us we needed a distinctive design to really make the trophy pop.
We then reached out to world renowned typographer and designer, Tomasz Biernat of Poland.

He instantly was able to identify a fitting design for the first ever World Championship trophy. His unique designed coupled with Chris Burns, pyrography made for a triumphant base for the finishing touch.

The trophy itself standing at a little over four feet tall is quite a site to behold. We are very proud of the world these artists have done to make a truly stunning image for the first ever World Champion of axe throwing.
