They may be getting tired of the same old, same old and could be open to new twist.

If the original supplier of the award is reluctant to continue the program, it may be time for a changing of the guard.
Just because you don't perform a process in-house, shouldn't be reason enough to count yourself out of the bidding.
Do you have a sample of the award? You mention a photographic process. There are very few mysteries in this industry.
We should be able to help you nail this one down.

The meaning I took from John's post, says the original supplier of the award didn't furnish him with the artwork.
They found the old/lost artwork, created the award and gave John a wholesale price for the award.

David,
This award has changed over the years, so as you say, why not now? It used to be a large silver revere bowl on a wood base.

I think it was Uncle Steve who suggested a change in design. Probably not a bad idea.
A Revere bowl on a wooden base is a classic combination, but as old school as you can get.
I was suggesting a change in the maker of the award, from one who apparently can't dredge up enthusiasm for the project, to an eager beaver.
A new maker, with new design concepts, may be the winning combination.
