Real parades usually have a set of judges, and trophies or awards are

judging thing is true in most countries but it's very common in the US.

Thanks John and tadaniels.

In UK carnival processions it's common to have an award for the best
float. I used to do quite a few with the Tunbridge Wells Juggling Club,
and there would usually be several of us on unicycles. Although there
was usually an award up for grabs, and although I think we won a few, I
don't recall any of us ever thinking of it as a competition. We were
there to have fun and get some publicity for the club.

As far as parades at conventions go I'm used to thinking in terms of
BJC parades, where a mass of jugglers parade usually from some point
near the centre of the host city to wherever the juggling games will be.
There will probably be prizes for the games, but not for the parade.

The idea of having a "best float" style competition (albeit without
floats) effectively as one of the convention games is alien to me, but
it makes sense once it's explained.
