award ceremony
A formal ceremony after a competition at which the winners are publicly honored and presented with prizes, medals, or trophies.
Die Siegerehrung findet direkt nach dem Finale auf dem Podium statt.
The award ceremony takes place on the podium right after the final.
The word is composed of 'der Sieger' (winner) and 'die Ehrung' (honoring). So it literally describes the ceremony at which the winners are honored.

A 'Siegerehrung' (award ceremony) 'findet statt' (takes place) or 'wird abgehalten' (is held). The winners 'werden geehrt' (are honored) or 'erhalten ihre Medaillen' (receive their medals).
Die Siegerehrung wird live im Fernsehen übertragen.
The award ceremony will be broadcast live on television.
To describe what happens during the ceremony, German uses the preposition 'bei' with the dative: 'bei der Siegerehrung' (at/during the award ceremony).
Bei der Siegerehrung wurden die Nationalhymnen gespielt.
The national anthems were played during the award ceremony.
award / labeling
'die Auszeichnung' and 'die Siegerehrung' both have to do with success and public recognition. 'Auszeichnung' means the prize or honor itself, for example a medal, a cup, or a certificate. 'Siegerehrung' means the celebration or ceremony at which the winners are honored and receive their prizes. Learners may confuse the words because awards are often given out at an award ceremony. Put simply: the 'Auszeichnung' is what you receive; the 'Siegerehrung' is the moment or event for it.
