Awards

Awards are formal recognitions or honors given to individuals or groups for their achievements, performances, or contributions in specific fields. They are often characterized by a ceremonial presentation and may include trophies, certificates, medals, or monetary prizes. Awards serve to acknowledge excellence, promote motivation, and celebrate outstanding work, whether in arts, sciences, sports, or community service.
