Competitions...

I really don't know why, but I can't find good phrases for this;

Municipality level history competition - is it ok?
and something like: praise for participating in Guitar republic competition? (I'm sure praise isn't good word)

These are direct translations from my languange and they don't sound good in English for me. Can someone help me?

Usually we say "recognition" since "praise" is a strong word, and some would say undeserved if the individual did not win or place. "Certificate of Recognition for participating
