2027 CLUB MEDAL DESIGN CONTEST
Our August general meeting will feature the medal
design contest for our 2027 medal. If you want to
submit a design, please read the rules below:
Members in good standing (all dues paid and
current) are eligible to submit a design.
The design must be on unlined paper in a circle
of six to eight inches in diameter.
The subject matter of your reverse design
should be something memorable about
Cupertino, of cultural significance, or historical
in nature. Repeat or similar designs of past
medal will not be accepted. Your design may be
in the form of a single photo, postcard, or
group of drawings in one design. Not all
members of our club are artists, so the subject
matter may consist of cutout pictures and the
like. The better the artwork, the better the
design work with our minter.
You may submit an explanation of your design.
You may submit a maximum of two designs.
The designer’s name or initials may not appear
on the design or design explanation. Initials will
be added after the winning design is selected.
If your entry is of a private, commercial,
trademarked, or copyrighted subject matter,
then you must obtain written permission from
the rights holder. If permission is not granted,
then the runner-up design will be used.
The following information must be included on
the design: “53rd Coin Show” and “St. Joseph of
Cupertino Church”. Because we don’t yet know
the date of our 2027 show please insert just the
year 2027 into your design. We reserve the
right to add the full date of the 2027 show once
it has been decided upon and confirmed with
the location.
All entries may be submitted at a general club
meeting or mailed to the club at: CCC Medal
Design, P.O. Box 448, Cupertino, CA 95015-0448.
All entries must be delivered to Medals Chair Emile
M by 8:00 PM at our August 7, 2026 meeting or
arrive at our club’s PO Box by July 31, 2026. The
entries will be voted upon by our membership at
our August 8, 2026 general meeting.
In the event of identical design submissions, the
first design submitted will be entered in the design
contest.
The winning design becomes the property of
Cupertino Coin Club and will not be returned. All
other entries will be returned. The Cupertino Coin
Club Board of Directors reserves the right to modify
the winning design to meet the requirements of
the minting process. Any modifications will be
cleared with the designer.
The winning designer shall receive one copper
medal of their design as the winner’s prize.
