Exactly what prestige can be claimed from an award where people can vote that don't have any idea who the nominees are, don't watch the sport, and can have their votes solicited by a family member just getting everyone they know to vote for him?

He's 8, you really think he cares about that?

It's not like they're nominating justices to the Supreme Court. 😉

I am sorry, but I can't vote for him. If I knew the others and actually saw the competition that would be different. I, too, have done about everything behind a boat but I need to have a reason not to vote for the others.
Sorry. NMI (need more info)

Whether HE understands that it's essentially a meaningless award isn't the point. My point is that the family apparently doesn't care about dignity or respect enough to allow him to win it on his own merits. (Of course, the people running the awards made it open to anyone to vote, but I'd bet they're only advertising the site in magazines and TV spots related to the sport itself.)
Plus, even at 8, I'd prefer to win an award as part of a competition, not because people looked at a description of my feats and accomplishments and decided to pick me. Not just find out one day "hey, you won this award". "What for? I haven't been in a contest in days."

I understand you didn't think he was able to win on his own so you needed to solicit votes.
