Nahhhh... leave it the way it is, Kat. If you change it to an appreciation award, then if someone doesn't get it, they might say to themselves, "Huh! I guess they don't appreciate me!" The appeal of you starting it out of the goodness of your own heart Kat is that at least initially it doesn't have to get bogged down in endless discussions. I don't think that anyone could disagree with your first three choices. From that point on, if there even IS a "From that point on," there'll be time to formulate a way to review other recommended candidates in a way that is not offensive to anyone.

Give Art, Jean and Sandy and Caroline the roses while they live.

If it never goes further than that, it will still have been a wonderful thing.
