This years winners for 'Dumbest Video' and 'Best Use of an Animal' on [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acer-spatiallabs-stereo-eyes) will be presented with these fitting trophies for the Upload Cinema Webvideo Awards. Freedom of Creation partnered up with DraftFCB to produce prizes that embodied the popularity of the nominated short film contestants.

Taking the form of the Upload Cinema Webvideo Awards logo, these modern-age medallions have been produced with a 3D printer, for a pixelated appearance. With a built-in [USB flash drive](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folderdrive), these trophies encourage the continued practice of uploading and watching videos on the Internet.
