Error beacuse
   retObjs.append(context.marketingAwards.award)
is equivalent to
   retObjs.append(getattr(context.marketingAwards, "award"))
and there is no "award" in Awards!

So use
<untested>
   retObjs.append(getattr(context.marketingAwards, award))
</untested>

   I suppose:

awards = context.marketingAwards.objectIds()
for award in context.assignedAwards:
   if award in awards:
      retObjs.append(getattr(context.marketingAwards, award))

   I think you can just use getattr or context.marketingAwards[award].
