A vanity award is an award in which the recipient purchases the award to give the false appearance of a legitimate honor and achievement. In some countries, those conferring awards may seek "sponsorship fees," "dinner fees," charity donations, and other financial "contributions" to avoid the perception that the award has been "bought." Some organizations also provide marketing and advertising services in exchange for these fees, in addition to receiving the award.
