The Roosendaal Prize could be the same shape but solid metallic. (and maybe keep the wireframe mesh) Get a company to sponsor it to cover the cost with a little left over to go to the Blender Foundation...

They could be presented at the annual Blender Conference. Award it to projects not just individual artists. And in the spirit of Blender I don't think such an award should divide commercial and non commercial projects, but maybe they should all be open source. Don't emboss his face on a plaque. That's lame. Try extruding the blender logo and designing a stylish base for it to stand on. @RNS

Keep 'em coming. Two quick suggestions: 1) Highlights were blown, I recommend using a polarize filter or use the ND filter settings on you cam (most prosumer cams have it) 2) I would deinterlace the video during compression to eliminate the video fields for playback on the web Interviews are great… they evangelize not only Blender, but the community and development efforts.
