EurovisionDance.tv exclusively presents to you the trophy for the winning couple of the 2008 Eurovision Dance Contest. The precious award was made by Brodie Nairn and Nichola Burns of Glasstorm Studio in Tain, Scotland.
Some four weeks ago, production company Splash Media approached Glasstorm to talk about the production of the trophy. "Producing such trophy, which is entirely custom-made, is a time consuming thing, so we worked hard to get this done in time," says Brodie Nairn to EurovisionDance.tv after officially handing over the trophy to the producers of the Eurovision Dance Contest.
The star-shape trophy is made of marble, glass and 24-carat gold and weighs approximately 4 kilograms. The star is made up out of two pieces, melted together with gold in between. "The trophy captures the glamour and glitz of the Eurovision Dance Contest, while having a Scottish flavor," the designers write on their website.
Nairn and Burns travelled across the world to gain experience in art, and had the pleasure of working in the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, France and the United States as apprentice. "We are very proud to have been asked for this prestigious job," Nairn admits. "I have watched the Eurovision Song Contest since I was a kid, so it means a lot to me to be involved with the Eurovision brand. We will certainly be watching on Saturday night!"
On Saturday night, around 22:30 CET, we will know who are going home with this piece of art! Check
