The on-the-round trophy design by 2006 Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the World (TOYP) and 2001 Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Philippines (TOYM) Awardee Juan Sajid Imao shows two figures gracefully bending to form a stylized “M” (to refer to Mansmith.) The fluid, circular forms of the figures symbolize how outstanding Filipino innovators “bend” their way of thinking beyond the ordinary. As a result, these innovators are able to unleash their creativity to stand out in their respective fields.
