Is there a statuette that comes with this award? Will we see Ernie (the BGG mascot) holding it?

In the confusion and the aftermath you are my signal fire. Hold me close, 'cause I need you to guide me to safety. The only resolution and the only joy is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes, I don't want to wait forever...

Okay, everyone... take an "attaboy" out of petty cash.

Should we expect a presentation of the medal/statuette/trophy/stuffed animal/certificate at BGG.con this year?
