When we gave out one of the other two awards a student said rather sarcastically "Oh look another award". I almost turned around and left.

You should've taken the award back and left. Sounds like that team needs to teach that kid some manners. Just because you're successful doesn't give them the right to belittle others. Someone took the time to put work into that award and if they can't appreciate it them they don't deserve it.

I think peer awards are great. We have won a few and are always great full. We display them in our trophy cabinet. We hand out a helper award every year to the team that helps us the most. It seems ppl really appreciate it. If someone takes the time to make it and deliver it I wouldn't inturpt it as a bribe.
