I think that you’re assuming the judges will give awards to bad / damaging actions. Obviously, the context will matter, and given who the judges are, I expect that they will be first, not interested in giving out a prize for bad things, and second, cognizant of the potential reputational and other issues which might be involved in giving out a prize.
And regarding “is it for you to judge?” I think the answer is yes—community leaders, including those who are judges for the prizes, are absolutely the people who would be making decisions about the types of things that the community should recognize and honor, in consultation with others who might be needed in order to investigate or determine what is reasonable. Hence the structure of the prize.

I’m assuming the judges will give prizes to actions that fit the outline of the examples in the post. If 80% of them seem bad/damaging, how should I trust that the judges will only issue prizes based on the singular better example?
You’re still stridently assuming that the judges will fail to use their best judgement, or that you think they are too dumb to realize that obvious failure modes are bad...
