Prize from adult attraction rejected (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

award

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

'adult attraction rejected' is the wordplay.
'adult' becomes 'a'.
'attraction' becomes 'draw' ('draw' can be a synonym of 'attraction').
'rejected' says the letters should be written backwards.
'draw' back-to-front is 'ward'.
'a'+'ward'='AWARD'

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for award that I've seen before include "Tony, say" , "Prize -- gift" , "Present - prize" , "They are disinclined to work" , "Give officially as prize or payment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
