An award is a prize or an honor you receive for doing something very well, usually in a competition.

A reward is something you receive for doing something good. For example, if you find someone's lost purse or wallet and you return it and all the contents to the owner, the owner may give you some money as a reward.

Check a dictionary for more information.
