Awardees were given a trophy of a stylised Sarimanok sculpture designed by the National Artist for Visual Arts Abdulmari Imao. The multi-coloured, 7-grain rice stalk alludes to the rice harvest as a metaphor for an art harvest while representing the seven arts. The trophy's vibrant colours encapsulate the festive mood of National Arts Month (NAM) and hail the abundance and excellence of Filipino artistry to life.
