PRIZ

Priz is a transliteration of the Cyrillic word приз, used in Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian to mean prize, award, or trophy. In everyday language it denotes something awarded or won in a competition, lottery, or contest. The term can refer to monetary prizes, material rewards, or symbolic trophies given to recognize achievement.

In its ordinary use, priz functions as a common noun in phrases such as “первый приз” (first prize) or “получить приз” (to receive a prize). When rendered in English, the corresponding word is prize; priz appears primarily in transliterated text, proper names, or as a stylistic stylization in branding and media.

As a capitalized form, PRIZ or Priz may appear as an acronym or as a proper noun. In such cases, it can denote organizations, programs, projects, or product names, with meanings that vary by context and language. Because it is not unique to a single entity, the acronym’s specific reference is determined by accompanying information such as country, field, or organization.
