Thanks for your response. Prix d'excellence works better than Premier prix, as Premier prix implies there is a second and a third prize, of which there is none.Prix d'excellence is what I thought of myself, however I wish someone had comforted me in the idea that Premier Awards shouldn't be translated, as it refers to the company's Award program, and oftentimes companies want to retain the original name. For lack of information from my client, however, I guess I will have to translate the term.Thanks for your help.

Explanation:
I believe this is a coined expression, for a special advertising occasion, and one should "coin" an expression (if possible) in French. Sorry I can't do better and I don't think Frenc can do much better, either!
