awards committee

Honor-granting group

An awards committee is a group responsible for selecting recipients of honors, prizes, or recognition.

The committee typically reviews nominations, evaluates candidates against established criteria, and votes on winners: She was appointed to the awards committee for the film festival.

Such committees exist across industries—from academic institutions to professional organizations to entertainment.
