Crossword Genius

Prize found in overturned storage compartment (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reward

'prize' is the definition.
(a prize may be given as a reward)

'overturned storage compartment' is the wordplay.
'overturned' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'storage compartment' becomes 'drawer' (I've seen this before).
'drawer' in reverse letter order is 'REWARD'.

'found in' is the link.

(Other definitions for reward that I've seen before include "Desert" , "Gift given to show appreciation of a good deed" , "Payment in appreciation" , "Prize; pay-off" , "Reinforcement for good behaviour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
