Awards are more formal; a recognition of accomplishments. You will be given an award at a ceremony, or there will be award shows. Rewards are incentives. You give a dog a reward for following a command, or the police offer a reward for information on a fugitive (then the police may give you an award for being an exemplary citizen).

@keekeestudies "Award" is also a verb. "I award you no points, and my God have mercy on your soul," as the famous quote from Billy Madison goes.
