Remember that the cash prize amount will vary from region to region. Here is what the winners of each area can expect to take home from the tournament.

Unfortunately, there is no cash for the winners of the Fortnite Community Cup for Chapter 3. Instead, those who manage to secure top positions from each region will be eligible to receive unique cosmetics.
According to the official blog post, the cosmetics are called "FNCS 3:1 Champion Outfit and Winner's Mark Back Bling." Unfortunately, the leakers have been unable to obtain visuals for the same.
According to prominent leaker iFireMonkey, the cosmetics are yet to be added to the game itself. Based on speculation and timing, they will likely be added on February 15, when update v19.30 will go live.
