first prize
Winner's ultimate reward
First prize is the top award in a competition—the honor given to the winner.
It may be a ribbon, trophy, cash, or simply recognition: Her roses took first prize at the county fair.
Figuratively, something described as first prize is the most desirable outcome: Landing that contract would be first prize.
