The Golden Banana of Discord is a special prize awarded to the game whose scores have the highest standard deviation.
Physically, it is a crescent of gold cloth stuffed with cotton. You can see a picture of it here. Andrew Plotkin created the 'teddy banana' and first donated it to the 6th Annual Interactive Fiction Competition (2000). Winners of the banana are expected to re-donate it back to the competition in the following year.
