Paper Plate Awards

Does anyone know who came up with the idea for paper plate awards? Apparently the concept involves a paper plate, a Sharpie (magic marker), and... well, that's it. You come up with a funny award idea and write it on the paper plate. Is that it?

I guess you could break out some glitter or stickers if you're feeling fancy.

I'd love to know the origin of paper plate awards. Did they start at camp or scouts? Aren't they pretty much just a variation of funny superlatives and most likely to awards? If you have any insight, please post it in the comments section.

Paper Plate Awards

Lots of people are begging for funny paper plate award ideas - please help! And since this site is FunAwards.com, it only makes sense that I should chime in. Here are a few funny paper plate award examples to get you started...

• Peacocking Award for biggest show off (from Funny Award Certificates)
• Foot-in-Mouth Award for always saying the wrong thing at the wrong time (from Funny Employee Awards)
• Little Miss Sunshine Award for the brightest smile (from Funny Teacher Awards)

There are tons of free printable certificates, examples, and categories on this website. But if you'd rather forgo a beautifully printed certificate in favor or scribbling on a Chinet plate, then so be it. Who am I to stop the fun?

Regarding good paper plate awards for sports, keep in mind the awards don't have to be directly related to swimming, hockey, basketball, cheerleading, golf, volleyball, softball or to any sport at all. Don't get hung up on puns. Instead, think about the characteristic of the award recipient. Here are a few more ideas from FunAwards.com that work:

• Selective Hearing Impairment Award for the player who never listens to the coach
• Loch Ness Award for the team member who is always missing practice
• Running with the Bulls Award for the person who takes the most chances.

These aren't necessarily sports-related, but they can work with a little creativity. And hey, they're FREE!

Please share your paper plate award ideas in the comments section.

Again, all apologies to Rep. Weiner. But I must implore everyone to stop taking photos of yourself and sending them over the Internet. They're going to eventually end up... well, on the Internet. If you're using a Droid, at least turn of the "Send Twitter messages by text" feature. It's easy to mess up. Not that I would know.

Submit Your Caption
Anyway, back to Weiner. I chose not to put an explanation for the award on the certificate. I mean, I could have went with "Weiner Award for most likely to send junk emails" but I really want to hear your ideas.

So post your ideas in the comments section. Just remember: keep it classy!
