Calm down, Navy Boy, life isn't about winning shinny things. They come with time. All you should really worry about is doing your job to the best of your ability. That's all anyone really asks for, do your job the best you can and the awards will come. For example, my grades have been great for years, but it isn't until now that I've really gotten awards for it. Those awards are opportunities to put me ahead of the competition. Those are the awards you should strive for. A medal may look good on an application for an activity, but a nationally recognized activity will look a lot better on a job or college application.
