In 2001 internationally acclaimed sculptor Nijel BPG was commissioned by Deborah Dannelly, President of the Michael Jackson Fan Club, to create a very special award on behalf of Michael's fans all over the world. This is a glimpse of the artist at work creating the bas relief sculpture for the masterpiece he was honored to present to Michael Jackson on July 6, 2002 at Webster Hall in New York.

Michael Jackson recieves 30th Anniversary Fan Award by sculptor Nijel Binns
Together with the award Michael was given a scroll listing name, country, and age of each fan that contributed money towards the award. It included a detailed description of the award explaining what it's specific parts stand for. Below is the wording.
THE SUN THAT SHINES OVER THE LAND
Michael, have you ever wondered how much your fans really love you? Have you ever wondered if you have made any impact at all on our lives? Well, tonight, you can stop wondering because your fans from all around the world have joined together and decided that it was time that we say "Thank You!" This sculpture has been created entirely by donations from your fans. Our desire is that it be presented to you as a token of our enduring love and admiration. This is our way of saying "Thank You" for all that you have meant in each of our lives; for EVERYTHING that you have done over the past 30 years: thank you for the music; thank you for the dance; thank you for reminding us to help each other; and thank you for teaching us how to come together as one!
Designed and sculpted by the artist Nijel BPG, the award contains several unique symbols. It is constructed of black granite, silver plated bronze, acrylic, stainless steel and pearl, which is a traditional 30th anniversary element.
At the center of the award is a black pearl. It is symbolic of the pineal gland that is located in the center of our brain. The pineal gland is often called the "third eye" of wisdom and insight. It is responsible for higher consciousness. This "cosmic seed" within your brain, Michael, has given birth to countless manifestations of song, dance, and video for over 30 years.
Two bands of energy spiral out from the pearl. They expand, and like the universe, swirl into infinity. Between the bands, are finely detailed sculptural works of art that capture highlights of your magic throughout several periods of your amazing career. The numbers and placement of these sculptures are specific. They indicate perfection and a mastery of the universal language of music. Therefore, a "treble clef" can be seen in the arrangement. The combined sculptures and the pearl seem to float in the encased acrylic disc like the sun with it's powerful energy whirling through space.
This "solar disc" sits on a half-moon stainless steel frame with three posts. They represent rays of energy emanating from the sun. They also provide pillars of support from your fans around the world. As your light shines over us, we your fans, have been and will always be your strongest and most faithful supporters.
The base is Zimbabwe black granite. Chosen for it's durability, this material proclaims that together, through thick and through thin, you and your fans around the world stand firmly on a solid bedrock of granite. The base represents planet Earth that is home to you Michael, our favorite son who shines over the land. In many cultures, granite is a sacred element. The ancient Maya and Aboriginal people have long known granite as a stone for protection. It is believed to help banish negative traits, and helps one to see and understand the bigger picture.
I am exceedingly proud and eternally grateful to Deborah Dannelly, President of the Michael Jackson Fan Club and the hundreds of Michael Jackson fans representing millions more around the world, who commissioned me to create this special tribute to the greatest entertainer on Earth.
Fans from the following countries participated in the funding of this special award !
Peace and Love,
Nijel BPG
