I'm having one of those moments where I can't think of the word.
In some contests where prizes are awarded, there are prizes for first, second, and third place. Then, there is a "____" prize given for last place.
What word am I having difficulty thinking of?

I believe you are thinking of a consolation prize. It is a prize for consoling, or comforting, the loser by making him/her feel as if he/she still won something.
