awards
Trophies and medals
Awards are honors or prizes given in recognition of achievement, merit, or victory: She won three awards at the ceremony, The film swept the awards season.
To award is to grant such recognition, or more broadly, to give officially: The jury awarded damages to the plaintiff.
Award can also mean something granted by decision rather than negotiation: an arbitration award, a contract award.
