They Young Novelists received the award for New/Emerging Artist of the Year at the 2015 Canadian Folk Music Awards. They were also the winners of the 2015 Grassy Hills Songwriting competition at the Connecticut Folk Festival.[2] They also received the 2015 Colleen Peterson Songwriting Award, presented by the Ontario Arts Council.[6] Previously, they were the 2010 recipients of the Galaxie (now called Stingray Music) Rising Star award.[7]
