Can any one tell the difference between an AWARD and a REWARD?

Answer 1

Award - for work well done.

Reward - for exceptional behaviour to benefit others.

Answer 2

Simply:
A reward = that which you get when you do something good and meaningful and you get a reward on top of it. For example, when you return a set of lost keys, the owner may reward you financially or treat you to lunch or something as a reward for your kind deed
An award = A token of you having accomplished something. E.g when an actor is awarded an oscar for a good acting role. Its not a financial gain, but its a form of recognition, something you can use as a decorative article (like an olympic medal) which is a reminder of your achievement or level of accomplishment.
Hope this sheds light.
