World getting first large award (5)

I believe the answer is:

globe

'world' is the definition.
(I know that globe is a terrestrial planet)

'getting first large award' is the wordplay.
'getting first' becomes 'g' (1st letter of 'getting').
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'award' becomes 'OBE' (Order of the British Empire).
'g'+'l'+'obe'='GLOBE'

(Other definitions for globe that I've seen before include "Earth - sphere" , "Orb, ball" , "House 8 [OF SHAKESPEARE]" , "London replica theatre" , "stage for Shakespeare" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
