[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid’s competitive dance team qualified for nationals, came in third place, and won some sort of award they give out for a specific dance thing.

I never describe it as a national award the way people do on DCUM. But I suspect when people talk about “national awards” they mean something like that.

I agree that people here use the phrase very, very loosely.[/quote]

That would make the term “National award” virtually useless.

I always thought in order to mention a national award you had to win the whole thing.  Out of thousands of students all over the country you were the winner.  Like the spelling bee.  [/quote]

Correct. It is useless. 
Would you prefer a national basket weaving champion, or a county math champion? [/quote]
How about NMSF or commended? NMSF is technically a state award. Commended is national. [/quote]
I disagree with the PP. National is in the name. Put national to highlight the award. (Yes, every college knows how it is determined.)[/quote]
^I was referring to NMSF[/quote]
