Awards?

I often get asked, by those who've never been, "is there a contest or award you're hoping to win?" Meaning, am I doing all this work for some sort of prize or recognition. I have always answered 'no' in the past. But it seems that individuals have begun taking it upon themselves to create awards. And this year we got these two.

The first one is quite large, probably 11x17 and came with an embroidered patch and an led lighted pin that looks like a spaceship.(click to read it all)

 The second one was given to us by a second year burner who wanted to bring something this year.
