content: Acapulco Black Film Festival (ABFF) inaugural award for Artistic Achievement in Film awarded to Bill Duke on June 28, 1997. The trophy, designed by artist Cheryl R. Riley, is an abstract sculpture on a round base, primarily constructed from wood with metal and metallic paint finishes. The sculpture is a 3D rendering of the ABFF logo, which resembles a stylized half rayed-sun with a half of an eye at the center. The sun's rays lengthen towards the top of the sculpture. The rays and the exterior rim of the sun are brown, and the textured interior of the sun and the eye outline are painted gold. The sculpture sits on a drum shaped base that resembles a film reel wrapped with film. The filmstrip images are represented by gold painted squares. There are round metal tacks along the bottom of the base and small metal tacks along the top of the base. A gold plaque mounted to the front of the award is embossed with black text in varying sized fonts that read [ACAPULCO BLACK / FILM FESTIVAL / Artistic Achievement in Film / Bill Duke /June 28, 1997 / Acapulco, Mexico]. The artist’s signature, year, and edition number are engraved in gold ink on the bottom of the trophy: [Cheryl R. Riley / ? / 1997 / #2].
