Winners of the awards receive gold or silver batons. The batons are inscribed with the famous observation about the power of television by the late Edward R. Murrow:
This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely wires and lights in a box. - Address to the Radio and Television News Directors Association, Chicago, October 15, 1958.
