awarding
Presenting the trophy
Awarding is the act of giving something—a prize, contract, honor, or judgment—to a recipient based on merit or decision: The committee is awarding scholarships to three students.
It implies formal bestowal rather than casual giving: The judge delayed awarding damages until all evidence was reviewed.
