Would it possible to have an award for the most humble person in the world? Wouldn't the person, to have any credibility as being overly humble, have to refuse to accept the award? This would make it impossible to choose a winner, making the selection impossible.

The most humble person - if there is such a thing - would probably receive his award posthumously ie after he or she was dead. Humility is the sort of attribute that would be present in various degrees in groups of peole all over any particular society - there would be several who would deserve the award at once. Therefore, its unlikely that there would be any one particular person who would be eligible for the award. On the other hand you can be subjective about it and you choose what you consider who is a most humble person according to you. As far as any person reducing his/her eligibility receiving the award; one can even enhance one's humility by being embarrased in accepting an award which they thought they didn't deserve or should have been given to someone else more deserving than them..

lmao.....you make a great point. I dont even know what to say to that. I guess you'd have to force the award on them. (put super glue all over it and put it in their hand, possibly?)

A bigger concern is that you don't know everyone in the world. That would make any choice suspect though not necessarily wrong.
