Need creative name ideas for photography awards.

We're having our Senior Thesis Photography Show in a few days and we're looking for creative names for awards to give out. Any ideas are appreciated.

The Beethoven Award: You could give it to the blind kid who takes really good pictures. You know, because Beethoven was deaf and composed. Eh? Anybody?

The Cheese Award: You could give this out to the student who presents the portrait of the most surprised looking person.

The Colorblind Award: To the student who gets a little too far into black and white photography.
