Smithsonian Folkways awards and nominations Wins 18 Nominations 23 Note
^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They recognize several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.
Below is a list of awards, accolades, and recognitions that Smithsonian Folkways and its collection of labels have won throughout their existence.
