I need to make a design for competition certificates in a martial art, and I
would like to put the grades in Japanese. I am not sure for instance if this
is correct: "二位" for "second place" in the context of a competition.

What is the correct way of saying 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in a competition?

Competition grades in Japanese
To tell the truth, the only people who can decide what to call the prizes are
none other than those who are holding this competition. All anyone here could
do is to give examples of what the prizes are "often" named.

Example #1:

優勝{ゆうしょう}・準{じゅん}優勝・第三位{だいさんい}

Example #2:

第一位・第二位・第三位

Note that 一位・二位・三位 without the 「第」 would be **too informal** to use on
certificates, plaques, trophies, etc.
