[TenTec] OT: need help with a translation

The award is the non-tangible honor bestowed upon the winner or earner
of the award. The certificate or diploma is the tangible evidence of the
award, but is not the award. 

Can't post to reflector from webmail.

>> GM guys, I'm helping translate documents for the sponsors of World Radio Team Contesting (WRTC) 2018. I am stuck on a word and need help from you guys. Whenever we work and achieve an award such as WAS or WAC or DXCC, etc., what do we call that. We receive a certificate to hang on our wall. Do we call it an "award", a "certificate", or a "diploma"?
