Finalists and Championship of Champions participants receive a cut-glass trophy (in Championship of Champions XIII the trophy had a small clock inside). Series champions receive a hexagon-based cut-glass trophy. They also received the full Oxford English Dictionary until Series 83, after which the prize was axed by Countdown due to the books being out of date.
