There is an excellent article by Patricia Fripp at her web site on August 12, 2022 titled How do you accept an award? Be gracious. Be modest. Be prepared! A briefer version titled How do you accept an award?  just appeared yesterday in the November/December 2022 issue of Speaker Magazine under Q & A TIME (on pages 40 and 41). Fripp also has a five-minute YouTube video.

 

A third article by Emily Sachs in the April 2021 issue of Toastmaster magazine (pages 16 and 17) is titled How to Accept an Award. It is followed by a fourth article from Paul Sterman about speeches at the Oscars (on pages 18 and 19) titled Speechmaking from the Stars.

 

There is yet another article by Eddie Rice at RICE Speechwriting on June 2, 2022 titled Awards Speeches: 7 questions to answer to craft a great acceptance speech.
