Adult attraction turning up for prize (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

award

'prize' is the definition.
('award' can be a synonym of 'prize')

'adult attraction turning up' is the wordplay.
'adult' becomes 'a'.
'attraction' becomes 'draw' ('draw' can be a synonym of 'attraction').
'turning up' is a reversal indicator.
'draw' backwards is 'ward'.
'a'+'ward'='AWARD'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for award that I've seen before include "medal, perhaps" , "Grant - prize" , "Write up" , "settlement" , "medal, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
