When you're approached by one of the world's biggest companies to design something remarkable what do you do? Well, if you're Creative Awards, you create the First Cut Swarf Award. 

Commissioned by BAE to celebrate the first soft metal cut by their F35 Machining Facility 610, this custom-designed acrylic award is one of a kind. Made using a top secret in-house encapsulation technique, the award resembles an objet d'art more than a traditional award. 

The award features aluminium swarf set into optically clear acrylic, creating an eye catching and unique design that draws from, and celebrates, the cutting edge design and engineering principals of BAE Systems.
