Definition
颁奖 (bān jiǎng) means 'to present an award' and specifically refers to the act of giving an award at a ceremony or formal event. It is more concrete than the general verb 奖 (jiǎng) 'to award', and less formal than 授予 (shòu yǔ) or 颁发 (bān fā), which are used for honors, degrees, or official documents.
