Awards are a way for Redditors to reward other users for posts and comments that they enjoyed, felt either elevated the conversation and culture within a given community, or simply because it made them laugh out loud.
An award given will appear as a small icon next to the post or comment title and applies to that post or comment only. Some awards even give the recipient some Reddit coins, periods of Reddit Premium and other benefits. Awards are normally purchased using Reddit Coins but you’ll occasionally get given a free award by Reddit to confer on any post or comment you think is deserving.
At the bottom of each post or comment is an icon resembling a box tied with a bow. Pressing this will bring up the current list of awards with their descriptions and prices. You can get more information and give an award to that post or comment by selecting the one you want. **Be careful when browsing the descriptions - giving the award accidentally is non-refundable.**
The profile page of the lovely Redditor u/N1GHT-MOON-UN1C0RN[1] shows many of the awards in action. If you’re on mobile, tap one and a little description of them all will appear. I can’t say at present if this is available on desktop.

Awards that give you periods of Reddit Premium are cumulative, in that if you get two golds on one post or in one week (for example), that will give you two consecutive weeks of free premium Reddit.
If you receive 100 awards in one calendar month, you get a “100 Awards Club” trophy for your profile. These can be any award given to you on both posts and comments in the space of one month.
r/awards is a sub for chat and information about Reddit awards and the system.
