Their activity is to discover that they are receiving an award and perhaps, to figure out why, too. The award recipient is the last person to find out that they are receiving the award. Thus, our award presentations are FUN for recipient and audience alike. Enjoy this photo album composed of a variety of our awards presentations from 2000 to 2024.
