Do you all think this is vital to an office? At my old company - corporate - it was a nice thing to get people together once in a while and award them for their work on projects. By award, I mean you would get a small plaque, glass "trophy" of some sort or even some type of gift card. Does this apply to agency life? How would it make you feel to receive internal recognition for the effort you put forth on a project? Especially if it was well received by the client, etc. Me personally, I think it is a nice idea and makes you feel good about what you've done - at least lets you feel like the company appreciates your efforts.

I would rather get an industry award.
Like a webby or something.

Yeah, to be honest if I heard that about a job I was going in for I would think it was a morale boosting stunt that means diddley shit. I wouldn't give 2 hoots, and probably leave it at the bottom of the draw attracting dust.
Industry awards is far reaching and adds recognition to the outstanding work that you and YOUR TEAM have produced.
I would prefer a pat on the back and a pint paid for by the boss on a friday afternoon.

its also the type of thing huge corporates do: "sorry us on the 5th don't have a clue who you are but apparently you made us a load of money last week, here's a tin cup".
P.s and what Rasko said.

"sorry us on the 5th don't have a clue who you are but apparently you made us a load of money last week, here's a tin cup"

I'd rather be treated like an adult and given first hit on the hottest temp at the time.

or they can just give me a nice bonus and a week off.

Excellent points Rasko and Dancer! Damn you corporate america! I have been duped by "the man".
