Is that correct?

"If awards for remarkable people who make the world a better place just by being in it were given you would be at the top of the list."

It would help readability to put a comma after "given", but I prefer to reorder like this: If awards were given for remarkable people who make the world a better place just by being in it, you would be at the top of the list. Consider also whether "to" would be better than "for".
