Re: Keeping Medals
I keep mine in two small boxes, each containing a year's worth of medals. I don't bother labeling them or anything, the individual placements don't matter all that much and I know which box is which from looking at the States medals. I wonder if I should bring one or two of the ones most important to me to college with me. I considered it once and thought that would be vain, but I'm not sure anymore as the medals do hold sentimental value.

Re: Keeping Medals
I have this large flower vase I've wrapped my medals around. It looks pretty ridiculous

Re: Keeping Medals
I hang 1-3 medals on a lamp. The lamp has 3 lights all on different levels. 1st/state on top, 2nd in the middle, 3rd on bottom.

Re: Keeping Medals
Good Idea. I also borrow my mothers clothes hanger.Things2do wrote: ↑June 20th, 2019, 6:15 pm I just hang 'em by year from my Pinewood Derby trophies on top of my dresser. When I ran outta them, I started "borrowing" my mother's astroworld merch clothes hangers... And some invitational ones are on the handles on my dresser drawers..,

Re: Keeping Medals
My only ones are hidden behind my copy of Atlas Shrugged and The Iliad. I'd feel like too much of a showoff if I displayed them for everyone to see all the time, and they probably wouldn't be as special to me as they are if I saw them all the time. I don't want them to become decoration; I want them to stay as a reminder of better days.

Re: Keeping Medals
Glad this topic got bumped, because there have been some new developments in how I'm (planning on) keeping my medals. I basically just plan on getting a shelf and putting a curtain rod below it that I can hang medals/ribbons on, sort of like this. The shelf is going to hold trophies or certificates from other competitions, probably. Haven't made any progress yet because of life, but I'm excited.

Re: Keeping Medals
I only have a single hook to keep my medals, so I have my state medals as well as some regional medals on there, and the rest are gosh knows where.

Re: Keeping Medals
I've kept all my medals! I have almost all of my medals from my first four years (6th to 9th grade) hanging in chronological order on a medal rack that I got to hold track medals back in like elementary school lol. I keep the rest on top of a shelf directly under the rack, sorted into three piles of roughly 20 each. The order of the piles is kind of chronological, but I also slightly modified it to put my favorite medals on top. Also, for the competitions which give ribbons instead of medals, they're in a pile on the shelf separate from the actual medals. They're all special to me and I really love being able to pick up any given medal and remember the story behind it! Such sentimentality haha
