Other than a probably cost factor only winners received banners and if you wanted one you could order it to give the company here some business.

And as stated before you get 2 trophies - 1 for school , 1 for major sponsor.
Before 2000 they never had fancy banners or trophies - alot of the awards were created out of Dean's shop. Just recently we were sent a trophy to make up for the 2 National Chairman's Awards our team won for 1992&1994 in the past the Nat CA winner held the magic Dean-made clock for the year just like the Stanley cup. That was way cool compared to a banner any day. I wished they would have changed their mind and said if any team won a National Chairman's Award 3x they would get their own custom made Dean Clock. I would trade in all the banners for that.
