Trophies

Pottery artist Frank Vickery with one of the 2022 HMF awards.

Over 30 awards are presented to owners in several categories, which would typically be a lot of brass. But at Highlands Motoring Festival®, we would have to say, “That’s a lot of mud.”

Really!

Each is a piece of hand-made ceramic pottery reflecting HMF logo and theme.

With a town full of artists, Highlands Motoring Festival® has benefited from the creativity of local artisans. A good example is Highlands Mayor Patrick Taylor, the creator and craftsman of the original Highlands Motoring Festival® trophies for many years.

Highlands is home of The Bascom, a renowned center for visual arts. Its most popular programs are in the pottery barn, a ceramics workshop. The program is directed by Frank Vickery, a gifted artist in his own right. But his greatest talent is the way he energizes the whole community’s interest in pottery as functional art. He is The Bascom’s current pottery guru. For 2021 and 2022, Frank Vickery has produced the awards for Highlands Motoring Festival® .
