I just wanted to alert you in case one of these is a typo.

[#3622335] I did everything I could to obtain this price. (Eldad)
[#3622352] I did everything I could to obtain this prize. (Eldad)

 Eldad Eldad December 5, 2014 December 5, 2014 at 2:22:20 PM UTC link Permalink

They are both correct. ☺
The German word has two meanings, and I used this fact to post two different sentences as proper variants under it.

@Eldad and CK, to answer your question on the German sentence:
The wording " den Preis zu gewinnen" isn't really ambiguous. 'Win' -> prize
The other sentence "den Preis zu bekommen" could be, but we'd certainly think of a prize, too.
With price, we'd say for example:
when buying: "um [x] um diesen Preis zu bekommen" (x..den Teppich,...)
when selling: "um diesen Preis zu erzielen" (is that the meaning of "obtain this price"?)

Thank you very much, @brauchinet.
I'm not at home right now. Hope to get back to this sentence when I'm back at my good old keyboard.

Well, having returned, I checked this sentence once again.
My variants rendered the same FRENCH sentence, where "prix" has both meanings, "price" and "prize".
