FAQ

What is this?

The Ultimate Participation Trophy is an edition of 100 trophies ranked 1st, 2nd, 3rd…Participant. The only contest is how fast you can spend your money. First to buy gets first place.

How do I know what place I got?

You don’t know until you reach the finish line! By which we mean you will find out when you receive your trophy. Your placement is not revealed when you purchase.

How is the trophy made?

The trophy - designed by MSCHF and Tiffany - was handcrafted by artisans using age-old silversmithing techniques at Tiffany's hollowware workshop in Cumberland, Rhode Island.

Tiffany makes trophies?

Yes! In fact, Tiffany makes probably every notable US sports trophy you can name for major championships including football, basketball, baseball and more. Each piece of sports equipment in the Ultimate Participation Trophy (including the horse) references a particular Tiffany trophy.

Manifesto

FOR DECADES, TIFFANY HAS MADE TROPHIES FOR WINNERS. UNTIL NOW.

Participation trophies give form to a timeless older-generation neurosis: kids these days are too soft and coddled!

Only those with exceptional skill, perseverance in the face of adversity, teamwork, or other such qualities deserve trophies. To offer trophies unearned makes a mockery of fair competition.

But life, alas, is not fair. One individual characteristic trumps all others, be it talent or hard work: wealth. The primary predictor of success for children is familial wealth, the key determinant of wealth is luck, and the same elder generation bemoaning the theoretical Participation Paradigm bears responsibility for wearing away any existing semblance of economic meritocracy.

It’s the American way: those who can’t play, pay!
