-- I'd call that a reward, but we would nevertheless say that he was 'awarded a job in a hotel for being first runner-up'. Generally, 'award' applies to competitions and 'reward' applies to personal compensation for a good action. Also please explain the difference betwwen effect and affect-- As verbs, 'effect' means 'make happen' and 'affect' means 'influence'.
