City given an award, I see (5)
I believe the answer is:
omaha
'city' is the definition.
(Omaha is an example)
'given an award i see' is the wordplay.
'given' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'an award' becomes 'OM' (order of merit).
'i see' becomes 'aha' (both are said after realising something).
'om' next to 'aha' is 'OMAHA'.
(Other definitions for omaha that I've seen before include "American Indian" , "This was old Indian territory" , "Where American may work" , "US 1944 D-Day landing beach" , "O, a ham found in US city on Missouri river" .)
