The Ankh Awards
The Copper Club’s Ankh Award, named for the ankh, a graphic symbol for the red metal dating back to ancient Egypt, was first presented in 1962 to honor outstanding individual achievements in and contributions to the copper industry.
The trophy awarded to recipients is a reproduction of Auguste Rodin’s famous sculpture, The Thinker.
Each year, the Copper Club circulates a survey soliciting the copper industry for nominees for the award. It asks for the names of individuals who have made notable contributions to the industry, and the winner is selected by the Ankh Award committee.
