If we want to "up" this now to something larger like trophies, fine, but we're really just falling back to kindergarten here where everyone is a winner and they don't keep score in the kickball games because they don't want anyone's feelings hurt.
Amen. Frankly, I'm a little tired of folks who are all about the trophy. I play with my cars for fun, and frankly I couldn't care less if I get a trophy or not. Also, be careful to distinguish between shows that are peer-judged vs. real judging against criteria like AACA. Peer-judged shows are simply a popularity contest and any awards are meaningless.
