prize ceremony

Trophy presentation occasion

A prize ceremony is a formal event where awards are presented to winners or honorees.

The term appears most often in contexts like the Nobel Prize ceremony or Olympic medal ceremonies.

Unlike "awards ceremony," which covers any recognition event, prize ceremony specifically emphasizes the competitive achievement: The prize ceremony followed the final race.
