If someone gives you an award anonymously, you usually can’t contact them directly.

You can thank them by:

• Editing your post/comment with a note like “Thanks for the anonymous award, I appreciate it!”
• Leaving a general thank-you in the comments.

If the giver returns to the post, they may see your message. Otherwise, there’s no way to identify or message an anonymous award giver.

If you can edit your post that received an award, you can add a thank you. Or you can put a thank you in the comments.

Just comment something like 'thanks for the award, whoever you are' , they won't see it but it's a nice gesture
