Order of the Day
The Order of the Day - usually awarded annually to a Wikimedia developer or technical person for exceptional service to the community. Often, but not always, awarded for a specific achievement, it was most recently awarded to Brion Vibber for numerous achievements over a long period of time.
Personal User awards
In the Personal User Awards there is a wide range of awards to chose from, from the "Golden Wiki" award, for users who have made outstanding contributions, to the "Son of Jimbo" award, for users with the last name "Wales". So the next time you think a user has made a significant contribution, or basically anything else, why dont you give him/her a reward to show your gratitude?
