We don't even do awards or chose winners for our August 2 day Collector Gun Show here. We get about 30-35 displays, and we give those tables to the first 30-35 people who buy a trade table and want to do a display.
We've avoided awards as it tends to cause hurt feelings for those who feel they were overlooked. And so far those who do a display really like it this way. We usually fill up all the trade and display tables not long after the end of each year's show.
