Prizes are given for a number of reasons: to highlight noteworthy or exemplary behaviour, and to provide incentives in competitions, etc. In general, prizes are regarded in a positive light, and their winners are admired. However, many prizes, especially the more famous ones, have often caused controversy and jealousy.
Specific types of prizes include:
- First prize, second prize, third prize etc.
- Consolation prize: an award given to those who do not win an event but are deserving of recognition. (See also: parting gift)
- Booby prize: typically awarded as a joke or insult to whoever finished last. See wooden spoon (award).
- Purchase prize or acquisition prize: a monetary prize given in an art competition in exchange for the winning work.
