Participant
Someone who participates or doesn't. We are in the Trump era, and any nonsense can be produced really. See the example below by Brian Hook.
Example:
So our right as a participant is something which exists independently of the JCPOA. There is no qualification in 2231 where “participant” is defined in a way to require participation in the JCPOA; and if the drafters wanted to make the qualification, they could have, but they did not. And so under a plain reading of 2231, any participant has the right under paragraph 11 to exercise those rights in the event of a dispute or other scenarios. And so this is not – I mean, I’ve been working on UN Security Council resolutions for years. This is the plain reading of the text.

participation award
A "reward" one gets for merely participating. Although usually given with good intentions, more often than not it will remind the owner that he failed, and that his best is not good enough.
Example:
"Congratulations, here's a participation award, for doing your best!"
"...because apparently my best isn't good enough to actually win something."

"...because apparently my best isn't good enough to actually win something."

Example:
One pirate participant was disqualified from the marathon upon finishing on the account that he was too cheap to pay the registration fee for an official number.

participation trophy
A trophy that is awarded, usually to a child, simply for participating. It is based upon the idea that this will enhance their self-esteem and somehow make them better adults. Despite the fact that there is absolutely no empirical evidence to support this idea, the trophies continue to be awarded. These children ultimately become young adults who can't quite understand why employers in the real world do not share their exalted vision of themselves. Disillusioned and bitter, with plenty of time on their hands, many participated in the Occupy Wall Street movement. Ironically, no trophies were awarded for participation in this event.
Example:
Let's show Dillon how much we love him by awarding him a participation trophy for doing absolutely nothing.
