Hi, I am just trying to think of nice equivalents to this in English that sound too pompous...its for a friends press-release and though she won an award for her first book (the first time she ever had anything published) she would like for it to sound a little more humble but still draw attention to the fact that she was awarded a prize for her book. Any ideas? Thanks! (In english)

I agree with Heidi. Why not use "award-winning"? I think it's the best option.
Heidi C Apr 4, 2007:
IMO, "award winning" is not pompous, she DID win an award and a press release should not beat around the bush... :)

Sorry, didn't see you wanted it in English but guess what: YOU ALREADY HAVE IT!
There's nothing pompous about 'award-winning' it's a run of the mill expression

rewarded

es más de lo mismo, pero si no utilizas award-winning, habrás de aludir a prize-winning, o según se ajuste al contexto rewarded como propuse

A modest proposal. This is sure to draw attention and is not too pompous.
