- pattern competition is just that - competition. And all competitions
traditionally recognize the top finisher, or the top 3, or top 10%, with
awards/trophies/etc. I'm with Ed and Matt - I like the award system in
pattern the way it is, just my opinion. Promoting pattern and encouraging
growth/participation are a separate issue with many avenues available outside
of awards/trophies/etc, again, just my opinion.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
