Assign the award presentation and
acceptance speech notes.
An award presentation speech is one you give as you present an
award to a worthy recipient or winner. Some award ceremonies may require
to speak a few words while others will set out time for a full speech. Your
speech has to highlight the recipient’s success and what they accomplished to
receive the award. The introduction is meant to build excitement, and often
the winner is not known until just before the award is to be presented.
Introduce yourself and thank the group or organization asking you to speak.
Then name the award and explain briefly about the award you are presenting.
But sure to include the scope of the award, be it local, regional, national, or
international. Furthermore, explain what the winner accomplished to win this
award. Did they write a paper or did they lead for a cause? Did they finish first

is to present the facts and summarize the story behind their story. Finally, if
there are other people in attendance who were competing with the winner,
make sure to acknowledge them in the time you were allowed. You must be sure
to finish with the actual award presentation to the person or team, raising your
voice and starting the applause after inviting them to receive their award.
An acceptance speech often follows an award speech and is given
by the winner of the award. An acceptance speech, like any other speech,
should be prepared in advance. Thanking the givers of your award is your first
order of business. You must state how much and why you are grateful for this
honor, and if possible, name the people in the organization individually.
Additionally, thank and give credit to those who helped you

achieve the award including family, friends, mentors, and others who
supported you in this endeavor. Include their names, their roles, and
how their combined efforts made it possible for you to receive this
honor. If you can’t name all the individuals, name the groups as time
will allow. Briefly share what the honor of the award means to you, and
be generous with your praise and your gratitude toward your
colleagues and the organizations involved. Finally, you have to smile
and carefully look for directions on leaving the stage.
