I think the first is the correct one. It is what I learnt at university.

The first one is correct if they both give the same awards.If they give different ones then the second is right. Look at the following examples:John and Mary ï¿½s mother is going to attend the school show, John ï¿½s and Mary ï¿½s mothers(that is, John ï¿½s mother and Mary ï¿½s mother) are going to attend the school show.
I hope it ï¿½s clear enough.

I agree with codora

" ï¿½s " is written after the nominal part of the phrase, so I agree that the first variant is a correct one.

Thanks everyone. The first one I too, thought was correct. However someone had written the second and I wanted to be sure before I made the correction. Thanks again
