And maybe for some awards the chance of winning is larger than for other awards, but it's still typically pretty small. Conversely, if there is an award where the chance is genuinely high (say, higher than 1 in 4) then I'd say that winning that award would be a pretty unimpressive achievement and may not actually provide the benefits for OP's friend that she's hoping to get out of it. | |
