I've thought about this award as a possibilty as well.   We know that
Voldemort killed 3 people; Tom Riddle, Sr. and parents (grandparents
to Voldemort) when he was 16 and still at school, so he had the
potential to make 3 horcruxes as early as his sixth year of Hogwarts.
 And Voldemort would have access to the award while still at school. 
The only question would be if he valued the award and felt it
important enough to create a Horcrux of it.
