A Preisverleihung and a Siegerehrung are both formal events at which people are publicly honored. Siegerehrung specifically refers to the winners of a competition, whereas a Preisverleihung can also recognize achievements outside a competition. After a contest, Siegerehrung is therefore usually the better choice.
