What do you mean, "but"? You're giving examples that support my point rather than oppose it.

The General Motors Industrial Design Award is not based on the technique or skill of the people doing the design. It's based on the "form and function" of the finished product.

The Motorola Quality Award is not based on the technique or skill of the people building the parts. It's based on the "robustness" of the finished product.

As EricH pointed out, the existing Rockwell Automation Innovation in Control Award seems a perfect answer for someone asking about a way to reward the programming.
