Some of the trophies earned by the NJROTC unit of Port Charlotte High School.

An award is something given to a person, a group of people, like a sports team, or an organization in recognition of their excellence in a certain field.^[1][2] An award may be accompanied by trophy, title, certificate, commemorative plaque, medal, badge, pin, or ribbon. An award may carry a monetary prize given to the recipient. For example: the Nobel Prize for contributions to society, or the Pulitzer prize for literary achievements. An award may also simply be a public acknowledgment of excellence, without any tangible token or prize of excellence.

Honorable mention

An honorable mention is an award, prize or recognition given to something that does not make it to a higher standing but is worth mentioning in an honorable way.
