Your user name is listed on the WAmmy award winners page, a badge is placed on your profile (with information about which WAmmy category you won), and of course, the prestige of being a top contributor on Answers.
There are different users that win the WAmmy awards each year. Many users have won.

WAmmy Award for 'Best Profile'Yes, there is. One of the categories within the WAmmy Awards is called "Best Profile." (See the Related question for the list of all the different WAmmy Awards that can be won each year.)
While there is no official difficulty about earning awards on WikiAnswers, it all depends on your contributions. One of the biggest complaints is that people don't win WAmmy Awards, while it's discouraging, it should not prevent youfrom making all your wonderful contributions. The more you contribute to answers, join programs, and become a productive WikiHolic, the greater chance you stand being noticed and thus win a WAmmy. Did you know that you can also nominate yourself for awards? It's perfectly within the rules for WAmmy's to self nominate. Lastly, keep your head up and contribute! You'll win an award sooner or later!
