Morphology

award-winning = award + winning (transparent) = award + win + ing

The meaning is directly derived from the components 'award' + 'winning' and will be clear to learners who know those words.

Etymology

Award-winning joins award ('a prize given for good work') and win ('to succeed'). So it means 'having won a prize', like a book with a gold sticker or a film with a trophy, and tells you the work was chosen as very good.
