Personally I'd like to see the end of the award altogether, except in its celebration of contributions through science and the arts, and even then I'm not sure. We increasingly live in a society where any good deed seems worthy of some award or another. Hardly a day goes by now when I don't open the paper to find that somebody has received an award for some pointless endeavour. I'm just waiting for the day when somebody is given an award for most awards received.
