Awards and recognition (Chicory: A Colorful Tale Wiki): revision #47

+1405 / −0 characters

[[Chicory: A Colorful Tale]] is sometimes loosely called an "IGF winner" — the precise record is worth stating carefully.

## Wins

At the 2022 BAFTA Games Awards (ceremony 7 April 2022), Chicory won the **Family** category.[^1]

## Finalist placements and nominations

- **Independent Games Festival Awards 2021**: finalist for the Seumas McNally Grand Prize (won that year by Umurangi Generation), with Honorable Mentions in Excellence in Audio, Excellence in Design, and Excellence in Visual Art.[^2]
- **The Game Awards 2021**: nominated for Games for Impact (won by Life is Strange: True Colors).[^3]

## Why the precision matters

Sources conflate finalist placements with wins surprisingly often. Per this wiki's [[Verifiability]] policy, award claims cite the awarding body or contemporaneous ceremony coverage — the IGF's own archive is the source for the 2021 record.[^2]
