The Filipino boy group BGYO, formerly known as Star Hunt Academy Boys or SHA Boys, has received awards, nominations, and other recognitions from Philippine and international organizations since its pre-debut period. Recognition of the group predates the BGYO name: in 2019, while still known as SHA Boys, it was named a Youth Ambassador by the National Youth Commission.
Following its official debut as BGYO in 2021, the group began receiving recognition from Philippine music and entertainment award-giving bodies. BGYO won People's Voice Favorite Group Artist at the 34th Awit Awards. "He's Into Her" was named the Philippine national winner for Best Theme Song or Title Theme at the Asian Academy Creative Awards and advanced to the Gala Finals. The group retained the People's Voice Favorite Group Artist award in 2022. It also won P-Pop Group of the Year at the TikTok Philippines Awards. At the 36th Awit Awards in 2023, "Tumitigil ang Mundo" won People's Voice Favorite Song. Be Us received an Album of the Year nomination.
The group later received recognition from international award-giving bodies. "Patintero" won Song by New International Artist at the 2024 BreakTudo Awards. BGYO won International Artist on the Rise at the same awards in 2025. At the VP Choice Awards, BGYO won Group Performer of the Year in 2022. It won the category again in 2024. Its third win in 2025 resulted in a Hall of Fame recognition. In 2026, the group received the Community Impact Award at the inaugural TikTok LIVE Awards. It also became a finalist for Most Influential Southeast Asian Artiste – Male at the Jupiter Music Awards.
Beyond competitive awards, BGYO has also received industry, civic and cultural recognition. The group became the first Filipino act to reach No. 1 on Billboards Next Big Sound chart in 2021. It was named among Spotify Wrapped 2022's Top RADAR Philippines Artists. It received a Certificate of Honor from the City and County of San Francisco in 2024. The Philippine House of Representatives adopted House Resolution No. 2341 in 2025 commending BGYO for its win at the 2024 BreakTudo Awards.
