Awards display or shadow box ideas

[DiRTY DOG]

I'd like to display a bronze medal from nationals on my wall, maybe with a picture, target, university mascot, and/or competitor bib etc. All of my stuff has been boxed up in the attic for 25 years, it's gonna stay there unless I do something. My kids have never even seen it.

Any ideas for a nice display for one medal? I'm a little crafty and also don't mind paying a frame shop to help me out. I'd like to see what you guys have done for displays.

Hobby Lobby has some nice shadow boxes that you can decorate as you like. I used one to display a turkey kill a few years ago. They make several sizes.

The display itself isn't difficult, if you're looking for how to compose the objects, try diagonal lines of interest, groupings of objects in odd numbers, look up rule of thirds, avoid symmetry.
