I love that seemingly random trades that we largely take for granted have these case studies that result in awards for things us muggles never think about.

A garage I went to subscribed to a trade magazine for towing and recovery companies and left the issues in the waiting room. Sure enough, they had a recovery of the year type of award.

It makes me feel uninformed about the world, but in a good way. It leaves me mildly awestruck when I learn about some new invisible corner of our society that has so much more depth than I realized. I appreciate elevators more (both from a safety perspective and as a convenience) knowing there are people who care so much about them.

		I suspect awards are one of the more profitable niches of the wider events industry. They're cheaper to produce than a full-scale conference (needing just a 1 day hire of a hotel ballroom or similar) and are easy to sell - every business or team nominated for an award will pay for a table, as will various suppliers and vendors who see it as a great marketing opportunity.

		We need a few more of these so we can have the Awards Awards Awards.

I worked at a company that got a magazine dedicated to managed printing services.
