Prizes are things that are won through competition. Gifts are not. So
'stepping down prizes', unless there is a competition involved where
that prize is the reward for winning that competition, is a gift and
therefore the letter applies. Carolyn Richardson can expand on this
if necessary (she's the accountant).
