achievement award
Prize for accomplishment
An achievement award is a formal recognition given for accomplishing something notable—completing a goal, reaching a milestone, or demonstrating excellence in a particular area.
The phrase is somewhat redundant, since awards typically recognize achievements, but it distinguishes recognition for specific accomplishments from participation trophies or service awards: She received an achievement award for highest sales numbers.
