BLUE CRYSTAL THE GUITAR HOTEL POKER AWARD NOMINATED
AS TOP 4 FINALIST IN GLOBAL TROPHY OF THE YEAR COMPETITION; 
Custom Trophy Designed for Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open was a “Fan’s Choice” Nominee

COCONUT CREEK, FL – The custom creation of a local awards and trophy company has received global recognition as an industry and fan favorite. B-A Winner, a division of Coconut Creek, Florida-based Winner’s Award Group and tribal-approved vendor for Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood created a distinctive 17 ½ inch tall transparent blue crystal trophy modeled after The Guitar Hotel that caught the eye of the Global Poker Index Voting Panel and became a Final Four nominee recognized by poker fans around the globe.
The trophy was originally designed by Winner’s Award Group and manufactured by J. Charles (for B-A Winner for debut as the championship trophy at the local Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open held August 6-10, 2021). 
Tony Burns, Director of Poker Marketing for Seminole Hard Rock Support Services commented, “Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood was honored to have The Guitar Hotel trophy created by B-A Winner nominated as a final four  in the global trophy of the year competition. This trophy is awarded to the champion of our pinnacle poker series, Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open, and also perfectly captures the building’s iconic shape.” 
Winner’s Award Group President Lou Chiera noted, “Working with manufacturer J. Charles, our goal was to capture The Guitar Hotel’s essence with an exciting depiction of this landmark location. We were able to match the exact blue color of the glass of the hotel for the trophy. Adding the neck of the guitar in metal made the trophy a miniature version of the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood’s iconic guitar-shaped hotel. We are thrilled that our design appealed to the poker community and was a Fan’s Choice selection. We specialize in replicating buildings, landmarks, or company logos and turning them into amazing awards. We can turn any idea or theme into a unique recognition award.”
