I think sponsoring such an award would be easy. But for
management, it might be tough to decide and give out.
For example, you could offer the award at the next ride,
give the mgmt a bucket, good sponge and tube of electrolytes,
and then suggest that the award be based on something simple
- no heavy calculations for the over worked vets.

At one ride, a very early Horsetooth Ride, we had a rider who
completed the 25 with a draft X Appy X many other breeds. This
rider really had to do the right things on this hot ride. He
got some sort of recognition. And would have been a candidate for
the Managment Award.

If enough people, donated enough awards, then it could become a
regular award. Think how the tail end award got started. Now you
see it at most rides.
