The top 4 teams which make the playoffs at all Great American Volleyball beach volleyball tournaments will receive great prizes! Some of these prizes include: Hot Buttered Sunglasses, Vincere Sand Socks, GAV clothing, volleyballs, Sandals, volleyball pumps, and more!!

The top four teams which make the playoffs in the open/pro levels will receive Cash Prizes.

Prize Money is always guaranteed. Prize money will never be lowered at the tournament and in some cases may be increased at the tournament directors discretion. The payout for each finishing position (1st, 2nd, etc.) will be paid out regardless of the number of teams in the division. The only time the total prize money may not be paid out is if there are not enough teams in the playoffs to fill all of the prize slots. For example, if there is a men's open division that pays out to 4 5th place teams but there are only 2 teams that finish 5th place, only 2 fifth place finishes will be paid out. All other places will paid out the same.

The following table shows the prize money breakdown for various Prize Purses. Players may opt to accept prizes instead of cash if they wish.
