I can sympathize with that... I think we all can... we all just want a real pat on the back and an honest "good job!"....
just because you didn't win an award doesn't mean that your hard work went unnoticed or unrecognized... sometimes it's just a hair separating the guy who gets the award from the guy who doesn't...

after you put in any amount of effort sometimes all you have is knowing that you gave it your best - but to know that about yourself and your team is worth much more than any prize in my opinion.
