The Darwin Award is a fictional award which is given out to people who commit acts of utter stupidity that often involve their own injury or even death. The name is derived from Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution (survival of the fittest), since the winners of the Darwin award aren't expected to survive long enough or remain capable of propagating their own hereditary stupidity. Some people attempt to win the Darwin award, however this is risky since if you don't get first place, you're just a dumbass with nothing to show for it but a hefty hospital bill and possibly funeral costs.
Dumbass: Dude, Steve just got sent to the hospital with third-degree burns after we tried to play Hot potato with a molotov cocktail, and I was wondering if you could-
Smartass: What, nominate you two for the Darwin award?
Dumbass: No, I was wondering if you wanted to play while he's in the hospital.
Smartass: (sigh)...

The Stove Award is an award given out to the absolute, most worthless person of the day/night. Often times awarded to the person who passes out first, acts like the biggest full blown mong, or to the one who contributes absolutely nothing to anyone all night. Named after Stove, the all time leader in most worthless behavior.
Jimmer, a perennial bottom feeder, drank two beers, complained about the taste, and then proceeded to act blackout drunk while puking throughout the entire night, making himself the most worthless person and the runaway favorite to take home the Stove Award for the night.

When somebody does something so asinine that it puts their health and the health of their friends at risk. What at one time seemed like a perfectly wise and humorous exercise quickly unfolds into near traumatic meltdown of epic proportion. Think Darwin, but not in the sense of reproduction or evolution.
When driving down a perfectly beautiful mountain road, one decides that a sparsely cleared, treacherously rocky, pine-cone encrusted jeep trail to the right seems like a logical route for a Subaru Forester to explore at 60 miles per hour. Screeching brakes, 100ft skid, flailing arms, wailing voices, mountains of dust, and a pine cone later, the car is humbling and hysterically unloaded to replace the right front wheel because a pine cone sliced a 1-inch gash in the sidewall. This deserves a Watson Award for sheer stupidity that ultimately led to endless laughter and ridicule.

Person who obsessively craves awards and recognition. These individuals devote most of their time and effort developing intricate Machiavellian plans to obtain more awards and recognition. Social interactions are dominated by bragging about awards received, describing current plans in excruciating detail and patronizing advice on how others can obtain awards.

A "reward" one gets for merely participating. Although usually given with good intentions, more often than not it will remind the owner that he failed, and that his best is not good enough.
"Congratulations, here's a participation award, for doing your best!"
"...because apparently my best isn't good enough to actually win something."
