Hastings' top businesses will be enjoying a special piece of art when they claim their business awards this month.
Local artist Ricks Terstappen has again designed the BYRDS trophies for Hastings City Business Award winners.
Terstappen said the steel statues of two birds facing each other were a sign of freedom which in his eyes is an important part of business.
"The other important feeling the trophy should give is a feeling of togetherness, communication, collaboration and of course friendship - all important ingredients for a well run business," he said.
Mr Terstappen will be creating nine trophies for the awards.
