Zhongli Pan said, “the prize was not for me alone, it is an acknowledgement of the contributions made by Chinese-Americans to technological advances and to the society as well.”


Should we use "recognition" instead of "acknowledgement"?
Which is better?

@fansy,
... it is an acknowledgement of the contributions made by ...

... it is recognition of the contributions made by ...

The first sounds, at the least, more common, Fansy. Note that there's no article with 'recognition'.
