I have rewritten your code for you and updated it a little bit the problem was since you called the TextBox 'Name' it was bugging out and also you needed 3 arguments in the server script which you only put two here is the updated code!
Client
--LocalScript
local Remote = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage'):WaitForChild('award')
function ButtonPress ()
Remote:FireServer(script.Parent.Parent.PlayerName.Text,script.Parent.Parent.Award.Text)
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(ButtonPress)
Server
--ServerScript
local Remote = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage'):WaitForChild('award')
function Reward(Player,Name,awardd)
game.Workspace.Screen.MainScreen.SurfaceGui.StartPage.Visible = false
game.Workspace.Screen.MainScreen.SurfaceGui.Award.Visible = true
game.Workspace.Screen.MainScreen.SurfaceGui.Award.TextLabel.Text = "Congratulations, "..Name.." you have won the "..awardd
end
Remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(Reward)
remove one d in rewardd, you connected reward but you use rewardd

When you fire a remoteevent to the server, it carries the client it was fired from with it. For instance.
:FireServer()
OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
On the server script, player is a player instance, and awardd is the players name. You're getting the error because you're trying to concatenate a player object with a string. Use the following code in your server script:
local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.award
remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, player, awardd)
game.Workspace.Screen.MainScreen.SurfaceGui.StartPage.Visible = false
game.Workspace.Screen.MainScreen.SurfaceGui.Award.Visible = true
game.Workspace.Screen.MainScreen.SurfaceGui.Award.TextLabel.Text = "Congratulations, "..player.." you have won the "..awardd
print(player, awardd)
end)
