AIMS Medal & T-shirt Awards

A range of innovative ideas were highlighted such as medals being created in the form of a year on year jigsaw where they fit together to form a picture. The Hans Christian Andersen Marathon (in Odense, Denmark) medals each year celebrate one of five stories from the world-famous writer’s fairy tales, encouraging runners to come back each year and build a collection celebrating the rich history of Danish literature.

Prices paid for medals ranged from $1–$30 and for T-shirts from $2–$10.
