===Materials===
 
Create or obtain some kind of non-traditional trophy. Have it be something with humor. It should be three-dimensional, not fragile, and small enough to fit on a desktop. Examples: a bowling trophy (as long as bowling is ''not'' part of the team's regular activities); a superhero toy; a model car; a vase of ugly artificial flowers; a mirror on a stand; an artistic sculpture  . . .
 
 
===Set Up===
 
Organize a system in which people nominate others for recognition for value to the team. this can be with a simple on-line or paper form.
 
Recognitions can be for any of a variety of things, large or small, specific or general; long-term or one-time. Examples are for exemplary teamwork; success in a specific project; overall good spirits; last-minute help; bringing refreshments to an event; telling a good joke in the lunchroom . . .
 
 
===Directions===
 
The organizing individual or committee reviews the nominations and picks one person per designated time period (Could be each week or each month.) That person wins the trophy for that period of time; then it is passed to the next awardee.
 
No one should be the awardee until all members of the team have had a turn to be recognized.
 
 
===Debrief===
 
People can make a big deal of congratulating the awardee, with sincere appreciations as well as humor;admiring the trophy; and brainstorming about its symbolism.
 
Discussions can include how it feels to be recognized as well as to appreciate others.
 
 
===Alternatives===
 
Nominations can be self-generated, so each person toots their own horn about their contributions.
 
Each awardee can add something to the trophy- e.g., put a tiny hat/cape/flower on it; color part of it; write on it.
 
Each time, take a photo of the awardee posing with the trophy, and post a cumulative display.
 
The awards can be given at a short (humorous) ceremony during a team gathering/meeting. Awardees could be asked to make a short speech.
