lifetime achievement award
Legacy recognition prize
A lifetime achievement award honors someone's entire body of work in a field rather than a single accomplishment.
These awards recognize sustained excellence over a career: She received a lifetime achievement award at the film festival.
The term sometimes carries a whiff of finality—an acknowledgment that the recipient's most significant contributions are behind them.
