The full form 獎(􁫧𤟌) combines 將(􀡽) jiāng ‘commander/general’ (abbrev. phonetic), and 犬 (quǎn) ‘dog’.

The Shuōwén Seal form of 奖/奬/獎(􁫧𤟌) jiǎng ‘to sic a dog on sb.’ combines 犬 (quǎn) ‘dog’, and 將(􀡽) jiāng ‘commander/general’ (abbrev. phonosemantic): goad/command a good attack-dog to attack.
The simple form 奖 writes 將 as /将, and 犬 as 大 (dà) ‘big’.

Note: The old meanings related to canine discipline (嗾犬厲之 ‘to sic a dog on sb.’); to urge/encourage, praise/prize (a good hunting/attack dog), throw the dog a bone (cf. 奬 below).
Note: The old meaning related to canine discipline (嗾犬厲之 ‘to sic a dog on sb.’); to praise/prize (a good hunting dog), throw the dog a bone?
+
In the simple form character 奖 jiǎng ‘praise/prize’ the upper component 将/將 is abbrev. to ⿰丬夕 (as in 浆 jiāng ‘syrup’); and the lower component 犬 is abbrev. to 大 dà ‘big/great’ (without the dot, as in the variant full form 奬).
Note: The dot in 犬 is missing from the simple form 奖, as from the variant forms 奬/奨; HDZ treats 奬 as primary, and the variant forms 獎/奨 refer to it.
+
Note: The simple form 奖 omits the dot from the full-form component 犬 (as do the variant full forms 奬/奨); HDZ treats the variant full form (without the dot) as primary, and the other variants 獎/奨/奖 only refer to it; thus, the old form 獎(􁫧𤟌) with 犬 ‘dog’ is taken to specify the old/obsolete dog-related meanings, and the forms 奬/奨 with 大 were created to specify ‘praise’ meanings.

Compare: 酱/醬(􂦿𤖕) jiàng ‘fermented/pickled mincemeat/paste’, 浆/漿(􁽋𤖅) jiāng ‘sour fermented drink’.
