lifetime award
Body-of-work recognition
A lifetime award recognizes someone's entire body of work or sustained contributions to a field, rather than a single achievement.
Such honors typically go to veterans of a profession: She received a lifetime achievement award from the Academy.
The term sometimes carries a bittersweet implication that the recipient's best work is behind them.
