From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A prize is an award to be given to a person or a group of people (such as sporting teams and organizations) to recognize and reward their actions and achievements.[1] Official prizes often involve monetary rewards as well as the fame that comes with them. Some prizes are also associated with extravagant awarding ceremonies, such as the Academy Awards.

Prizes are also given to publicize noteworthy or exemplary behaviour, and to provide incentives for improved outcomes and competitive efforts. In general, prizes are regarded in a positive light,[1] and their winners are admired. However, many prizes, especially the more famous ones, have often caused controversy and jealousy.

Specific types of prizes include:

  • Booby prize: typically awarded as a joke or insult to whoever finished last (e.g., wooden spoon award).
  • Consolation prize: an award given to those who do not win but are deemed worthy of recognition.
  • Hierarchical prizes, where the best award is «first prize», «grand prize», or «gold medal». Subordinate awards are «second prize», «third prize», etc., or «first runner-up» and «second runner-up», etc., or «silver medal» and «bronze medal». (In some contests, «grand prize» is more desirable than «first prize».)
    • On game shows in the UK, the term is «star prize», while in Australia, it is «major prize».
  • Purchase prize or acquisition prize: a monetary prize given in an art competition in exchange for the winning work.
  • Winnings from an inducement prize contest, usually a reward for accomplishing a specific feat of use to the sponsor or society at large

A prize is the reward or recognition a winner gets. When you win first prize in your state spelling bee, you might get a medal and a trip to the national competition in Washington, DC.

Many prizes are given for hard work, athletic skill, or superior intellect, but it’s also possible to win a prize from sheer good luck. The prize for a winning lottery ticket, for example, might be a million dollars. If your dog comes in first at an obedience competition, you can call her your «prize pup.» And if you adore and value that dog more than anything else, you can say you prize her.
