The Offshore Achievement Awards

🏆 Exciting news! We're thrilled to announce George Brown from Gray's School of Art as the winner of the 2025 Offshore Achievement Awards trophy design competition! This prestigious competition, part of the 38th annual OAA awards, sponsored by Bilfinger, challenged talented 3D Design students to create a trophy that captures the spirit of excellence in the energy industry. Four outstanding students presented their concepts to our expert panel of six judges, with George's innovative design emerging as the winner! 🌟 George's creative process was truly unique. He explains: "My design process was holistic, encompassing thoughtful design and meticulous project management. I sought to honour every contributor, every industry, and the many methods that make such achievements possible." Using an innovative approach he calls "companionship design," George carried his prototypes with him throughout development - from initial mock-ups using coffee stirrers and blue tack to sophisticated clay modeling and AI techniques! This hands-on approach helped him perfect every detail of the design. "The final design draws inspiration from the turbine, abstracted to symbolise the industry's connection to the past, present, and future," George shares. "I aimed to create a piece that not only acknowledges but celebrates the achievements that continue to propel us forward." 💫 OAA Committee Member and bp Geophysicist Nandini Nagra was impressed: "Each idea was so different, and it was evident that a huge amount of thought and research went into their trophy designs. The chosen winner, George, hit all aspects of the brief and created a trophy which embodies the changing industry, with a nod to its past. I can't wait to see the final product!" Want to see these stunning trophies in person? Join us at our black-tie ceremony on March 13th at P&J Live in Aberdeen, where they'll be presented to this year's outstanding achievers! 🎉 #OAA2025 #OffshoreAchievementAwards #EnergyIndustry #Innovation #Design #GraysSchoolOfArt #Aberdeen #EnergyTransition #Sustainability Alan Dick Alexander Neame Chris Stewart Clara Altobell FEI Colin Black, FEI Diane Wood MBE Elizabeth McAlpine Erlend Corrigall Glen McLellan Graham Dallas Hamish Hogg Ian Mills Ian Phillips Innes Auchterlonie Ken Macrae Kenny McAllister Lorraine Mutch Louise Martin Michael Hartley Mojtaba Moradi
