'stick nose' is the definition.
'meddle' can be an answer for 'nose' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'stick' bit.

'announcing award' is the wordplay.
'announcing' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'award' becomes 'medal' (medal is a kind of award).
'medal' sounds like 'MEDDLE'.

'in' acts as a link.
