Social distance measures are in full flow across borders, and it is now more important than ever for organisations to recognise the challenging work that people are doing to improve the situation. Since everything seems to have stopped, there’s a lot that can be done virtually, such as the virtual awards ceremony. Keep reading to learn about shifting your awards ceremony to a virtual platform.

Decide on the types of award
If you are a film critic or like seeing stars on a red carpet, you know that every year, from “Best Supporting Actor” to the “Best Film Editing.” The Academy Award will certainly vary from 24 Oscars to the best Film Editing award. The honours that you offer as well as the amount will vary for your virtual awards ceremony. The winner will finally be headed by “Employee of the Year” “Most Improved” or “Most Helpful” categories you have selected.
Choose the judges
Who’s finally going to be awarded to the judges? The question is: who are the judges? You have a number of choices in this regard, whether it is the creation of a panel (e.g. business leaders, project managers, stakeholders, etc.) to write-in. In the latter case, everybody will decide who merits the award from a field of a few choices. How those nominees are at the end of the day – and how many—is your decision.
Choose the award objects
Whether its gift cards, company merchandise, food or memorial pieces, the awards you can choose from are almost endless. For example, the engraved wine glasses with the date and description are something that recipients will still look back on with fondness. Glass awards are beautiful and combine elegance and prominence, particularly when inscribed or engraved. Both glass and crystal awards come in a wide range of sizes, patterns, cuts and creative forms that contribute to their prestige and distinction. Perhaps a simpler thing, such as an ornament, will send the right message. Personalizing these awards is the perfect way to express respect for them.
Determine how the prizes are to be distributed
A complication of virtual prize ceremonies is the true part of the prize – how to allocate them when everyone is gone. There are a variety of ways to do this, including delivering the award to their home via delivery services. Like such as UPS or FedEx or USPS. If you choose this form, you may want to get your recipients modified and correct addresses so that their awards are delivered without any issues.
You may also keep them at your office or at home for the time being. Nobody really knows for sure when the coronavirus restrictions would come to an end. Which may explain why the recent survey showed that almost half of the workplaces have yet to set a return-to-work date, the Society for Human Resources Management reported. It’s going to happen eventually, and when it’s considered safe to get things back to normal. Thus, then you can hand them all out in person. Alternatively, you would want to ask each recipient what they might prefer and what would be better for them.
Leverage all available tools to support your virtual award ceremony
Nothing is worse than a virtual award show where no one is present. It defeats the aim a lot. It is also important that invitations to all relevant stakeholders and participants are given early and regularly. Whether it’s by email, mailers delivered the conventional way, community text or phone calls, spread the word long before the actual ceremony. Ask for an answer, and get a sense of everyone’s interest, and plan a time and a day that works for everyone. The secret here is in the follow-up to the ongoing reminders.
