Does this award warrant an update?

A “huge” accomplishment can mean different things to different people. Unless your accomplishment is a NATIONAL or INTERNATIONAL award, I wouldn’t bother updating. (IMHO, updating Admissions on State or local awards will not tip the scales in your favor, and might actually weaken your application as other students will be updating with more prestigious accomplishments, such as being an Intel finalist, playing at Carnegie Hall, etc.)
