The Hobson Award: The Story Behind the Design
Every year, BSA Honor Award winners receive the Hobson Award. This year, the Hobson was reimagined by Parke MacDowell AIA and fabricated by the BSA Knowledge Communities, MakeTank and MKR|MGR.

This design was the result of a design competition co-hosted by the two Knowledge Communities. Submitters were challenged to "Develop a new design for the award trophies...using the original Hobson Award and its Möbius strip as inspiration, as you interpret it."
We would like to thank the others who submitted to the competition—we appreciate your thoughtful and innovative designs: Steven Fallon, Phil O’Brien, and Pink Projects.
