price / prize
'der Preis' and 'die Trophäe' can both be an award for a victory or achievement. 'der Preis' is the more general word here. It can look very different or can even consist of money. 'die Trophäe' is a visible object, for example a cup or a medal, that you often receive in sports. If you are speaking generally about an award, 'Preis' fits. If you mean the object that someone takes home or displays after winning, 'Trophäe' is more precise.
