I don’t know specifically about Golden Bridge but I have been on the receiving end of other trophy clearinghouses: we were notified we had won a whatever of the year award without even applying for it and that we could purchase the actual trophy for a very reasonable price. Basically these companies’ business is selling overpriced crystal trinkets.



As have I, it's a fairly common racket. However, rights to a trophy / rights to use the logo etc are also sold by perfectly legitimate awards too.
