Am led to create award (5)
I believe the answer is:
medal
'award' is the definition.
(I know that award can be written as medal)
'am led to create' is the wordplay.
'to create' indicates an anagram.
'am'+'led'='amled'
'amled' with letters rearranged gives 'MEDAL'.
(Other definitions for medal that I've seen before include "George Cross, for instance" , "Lamed by award" , "Award for distinction" , "Sports award" , "Religious or commenorative metal piece" .)
