There are trophies and there are trophies. A first place trophy isn’t the same as one for participation. Much ado about nothing.

Horse manure...
A trophy is supposed to mean something....you win the right to get it. It proclaims you bested your competetion....
It was worth striving for...
The country is filled young people who think showing up for work five days in a row is a accomplishment. ..
Yeah, my participant trophies (from the early 1980s, mind you), all went in the trash. We knew what "Participant" meant, and we didn't want them, we wanted to win. My more important ones are around somewhere, probably in a box at my parents' house, cuz I sure can't find 'em.
Trophies are traditionally awarded for special achievements. Participation can be honored with a t-shirt or such.
