Collection: Chess Trophies & Awards

Scholastic Chess Tournament Awards

Scholastic chess tournaments award individual placings in each grade section, team trophies to top schools and often a medal for every player with a winning score. Chess clubs also recognize club champions and most improved players. See all academic awards.

Choose a chess decagon medal, High Relief and Burst Thru chess resins, Scholastic Awards chess trophies, a Star Riser chess trophy and chess insert trophies. Achievement scholastic pins and personalized dog tags are inexpensive extras for club members.

Planning Awards by Section

Most scholastic events split players by grade (K-3, K-5, K-8, K-12) or by rating. Order individual trophies for the top places in each section, a team trophy for the top schools, and medals for everyone who reaches a set score. Insert medals fill the holder on insert-style trophies, so one trophy style can serve several sections.

What to Engrave

Use the section and result: "K-5 Section - 1st Place", "Top Unrated Player", "Club Champion 2026" or "Most Improved Rating". Add the player's name and the event or school.

Trophies or Medals?

Trophies suit top finishers and club champions, since they have room for the section and place. Medals are practical for large sections and for rewarding every player who reaches a target score, and they are easy to hand out at the closing ceremony.

Ordering for a Club or Tournament

Paste the final standings into the "Different on each item" grid and each award gets its own name; the quantity updates automatically. Engraving is free, and trophies under $8 help when every section needs awards. South Florida schools can pick up in Hialeah, and we ship nationwide.
