grand prize winner
First place finisher
A grand prize winner is someone who has won the top award in a contest, sweepstakes, or competition—the main prize rather than a secondary or consolation prize.
The phrase appears constantly in promotional materials and announcements: The grand prize winner receives an all-expenses-paid trip to Hawaii.
It can also describe past winners or the status itself: She's a former grand prize winner at Cannes.
