The CMA Awards typically uses 15 of these throughout the course of the show.

 

Actual trophies

 

There are typically 15 generic CMA trophies that are used as props throughout the course of the show. Winners get their actual engraved trophies several weeks later. The multiple generic copies are so winners can carry the trophy around for a while to take pictures and talk to the press. They have to give the trophy back before they return to their seat in the audience.
