From Greig Johnson. I liked it.

official selection for the Celluloid Screams, a horror film festival based in Sheffield
So they filled in an application form? I guess that deserves a plaudit
And no less than five separate wins in the "feel the reel" festival? Hmm, a monthly online film competition based in Iasi, Romania's second largest city?
Might be a good film, Vic. I'm not into horror so not one to judge. But you'd think it was the citizen kane of short flicks for all the gold laurels

Welcome to the racket that is short film festivals
The only festivals worth entering are the ones your work is invited into.

It seems to be the done thing with short films to give them the feel of authenticity when standing alongside their longer-form cousins. I'd give it a gold laurel, so they can add that too.

a friend made a short years ago that won a 'festival' and puts 'award winning filmmaker' all over his linkedin and the like.
the helpdesk at my work 'won' some external paid for award and was there was an internal news piece with award and grinning IT bods. Truth is the helpdesk was shit and 50% full of numpties that they can't seem to jettison. 50% of the people who were any good were actively hostile to users. One of the numpties was described as a clockwork mouse. you could wind him up and give him some instructions but if anything deviated from that he couldn't handle it. and that description came from one of his colleagues!

If you don't want to pay there's other options
I remember having to choose a hosted server, and one had some "Best server award" or similar.
Curious, I looked up the award which had very few details on its website, but it did have a company name which I looked up. It shared the same registered address as the company that offered the server. I've since seen numerous examples of similar across a range of products, like insurance. If you want an award just create one and award yourself it.
The Glasscock International Website Award (registered in Manuel Towers) for Best Puerile Website goes to......La La Land!..., No, sorry... B3TA
