"Prizes and Awards

"Prizes and awards are amounts received primarily in recognition of religious, charitable, scientific, educational, artistic, literary, or civic achievement, or are received as the result of entering a contest. A prize or award is taxable to the recipient unless all of the following conditions are met:

1. The recipient was selected without any action on his or her part to enter the contest or proceeding,
2. The recipient is not required to render substantial future services as a condition to receive the prize or award, and
3. The prize or award is transferred by the payer to a governmental unit or tax-exempt charitable organization as designated by the recipient."
