Explanation
รางวัล means “award,” and ชมเชย means “to praise” or “to commend,” so the phrase literally points to an award of commendation. In practice, it is a standard award title used in contests, school events, exhibitions, and competitions for entries that are recognized as good but are not among the top winners. The classifier is รางวัล.
Usage
It is commonly used when announcing contest results, school awards, community events, company recognition, and competitions such as writing, art, photography, speeches, or presentations. Common phrasing includes ได้รับรางวัลชมเชย or ได้รางวัลชมเชย, meaning “to receive an honorable mention.”
Caution
ชมเชย by itself can mean “to praise,” but รางวัลชมเชย is the name of an award. It does not mean simply praising someone. Also, it is usually not the top prize, so avoid translating it as “winner,” “champion,” or “grand prize.”
