The Stevie Award Trophy
The Stevie Award trophy is a symbol of excellence and achievement recognized worldwide.
The name Stevie is derived from Stephen, which originates from the Greek word for “crowned,” underscoring the award’s celebration of leadership and accomplishment.
At its core, the trophy features a crystal pyramid held aloft, symbolizing the hierarchy of human needs—a concept developed in the 1960s by psychologist Abraham Maslow. The pyramid represents the progression from basic needs to the pursuit of peer recognition, aligning perfectly with the spirit of the Stevie Awards.
