I appreciate that you point this out. You do have to apply and pay a fee for most highly-rated awards (nothing is free today). However, I'm proud to say that we did not apply, rather were nominated (by individuals) and won our category.
We are bootstrapped (indie hackers) who are just trying to build a tool that we have always wanted - and hope others can enjoy as well (along with our victories).
I also appreciate you answering. I will suspend my disbelief and assume what you say above is true.
If you were to accept advice from random people on the interwebs, I would say, "don't speak of it, ever." It is not a prestigious thing and only thing it will do is to make people question your legitimacy. If you search for Netty Awards, in Google, in Kagi, or in DDG, there are questions about legitimacy of the awards site and even allegations of it being a scam in the auto-complete of the search engines. I would personally not be interested in doing business with a "Netty Award Winner."
But, again, take my above sentiment with a grain of salt: I am in the (PR) industry, and I am very much jaded. I might not be your target market. And for your target market this might be a big deal.
