Frequently Asked Questions About 1st Place Medals
What size medals are best for different age groups?
For younger children (ages 5-10), 1.25-inch economy medals work well as they're lighter and easier to wear. For teens and adults, 2-inch to 2.75-inch medals provide a more substantial and prestigious feel. Consider the event significance when choosing size - championship tournaments typically warrant larger, premium medals while participation events may use smaller, budget-friendly options.
Do all 1st place medals come with ribbons?
Yes, all our first place medals include a free neck ribbon for immediate presentation. Ribbons are available in multiple colors including traditional blue for first place, red for second, and white for third. You can also choose ribbon styles-standard neck ribbons for most events or drape-style ribbons for more formal ceremonies and championship presentations.
Can 1st place medals be engraved or personalized?
Many first place medals offer optional engraving on the back, allowing you to add participant names, event dates, competition names, or achievement details. Some medals feature personalized rims where you can add custom text around the edge.
