championship trophy

Victor's grand award

A championship trophy is a prize awarded to the winner of a competition, typically a cup, plaque, or sculptural object symbolizing victory.

Many championship trophies are permanent fixtures that winners hold temporarily before passing to the next champion: The Stanley Cup travels with whoever wins it.

Some trophies become iconic—the Lombardi Trophy, the Claret Jug—and lifting one marks the pinnacle of athletic achievement.
