recognition award
Prize for accomplishment
A recognition award is a formal acknowledgment of achievement, service, or contribution—a certificate, plaque, trophy, or similar token given to honor someone's accomplishments.
The phrase is slightly redundant, since awards inherently recognize something, but it emphasizes the honoring function over material value: She received a recognition award for twenty years of service.
