I like the idea, however I think you would end up with a vast difference in award quality. The different trophies will probably not look as professional as having a single style of trophy.

However, I think the responsibility of the trophies could be pushed to the event planning committees. Having different trophies for different events could be cool along with removing the cost/responsibility from HQ.
