The words are all interchangeable to some degree but an award refers to anything you receive for good work, whereas a prize normally refers to an award with monetary value as opposed to something like a certificate. A trophy specifically refers to an award in the form of a small statue, and spoils usually refers to goods plundered from war however both of these words are occasionally used more metaphorically than that.
