Awards are tokens of appreciation, which are given to individuals for
their achievements. It can be called as symbol of recognition to an
individual for their personal achievements by an organization or a
group of judges.
Rewards on the other hand are also recognition but it is a kind of
acknowledgment to an individual’s contributions. Rewards can also
be said to be an encouragement to an individual.
Awards can come in form of medals, trophies, certificates, badges
and cash whereas Rewards most of time is associated with money or
a promotion or like that.

We may be rewarded for finding and returning some one’s valuable
things. The police normally give away rewards on valuable
information. Rewards can be termed as a compensation that you get
for helping others.
Award is always associated with some positive things where as
reward is associated with good and bad things.
Awards are publicly presented. Rewards, on the other hand, are only
private or personal affairs.
Rewards are ‘given’ and awards are ‘awarded’.
