How can I connect competition and acknowledgement/recognition?
3 answers
In what context? At the Academy Awards or other awards presentations, the winners always give a nod to the other nominees and acknowledge them as also worthy of the award, etc.
I'm writing about how wedding cakes are high art, so I want to connect how there are tv shows about art competitions and there are tv shows on cake competitions.
Well, I guess if you are a competitor in any competition, especially on a "reality" TV show, you will get some acknowledgement and prestige out of it. It doesn't hurt one's reputation! To win such a competition brings the recognition that comes with that and can be used in advertising one's work or shop/bakery. I am still not sure exactly what you mean.
