Brendan Wood International - TopGun Analyst

Various PMs on my team have the Top gun buyside analyst awards in their offices, almost shamefully stashed away -- like I need ppl to see that I have it, but I dont really want to display it. 

How prestigious or respected is the award? Is it a rigorous selection process or is it like a Forbes 30 under 30 list where you get your friends to flood the nomination with your name?
