These are a collection of different awards for different occasions, different jobs or those special people-adults and kids alike. These are just some examples and may spark some originals of your own.
Remember these are A W A R D S. How you make the presentation is just as important as the award themselves. So ham it up!! Especially with some of the more humorous awards. Most require about 5 minutes of your time to make, most even less.
