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)

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)
