^Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge 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.
Snow Patrol first received the Phil Lynott Best New Band award in 1999 at the Hot Press Awards. They also received one Ivor Novello Album Award for their third album Final Straw in 2005. The band has received seven BMI Awards, two for the song "Run" in 2005: "College Song of the Year" and "BMI Pop Award". The other awards were for the songs "Chasing Cars" and "Hands Open", each winning a BMI Pop Award (twice for Chasing Cars, in 2007 and 2008) and for being performed a combined one million times in the United States in 2007. The band has been particularly successful at the Meteor Music Awards, winning six awards from total seven nominations. These awards were for "Best Irish Band" and "Best Irish Album", in 2005 and 2007, "Best Live Performance", in 2007, and "Most Downloaded Song" for "Chasing Cars", in 2007. They have also received five IFPI Platinum Europe Awards; two for the album Final Straw, in 2004 and 2008 for crossing the two million sales mark in Europe; and the others for the album Eyes Open, in 2006, 2007 and 2009, for crossing the three million sales mark in Europe. Overall, Snow Patrol has received 25 awards from 51 nominations.
The Choice Music Prize is awarded to albums which best sum up the year in Irish music. The award doesn't take in airplay as a criterion, and is awarded solely on the basis of artistic merit.[11] The award is the Irish equivalent of the UK's Mercury Music Prize. Snow Patrol has received one nomination.[12]

In June 2010 the band were commemorated with a Heritage Award by PRS for Music. A plaque was erected on the Duke of York pub in Belfast where the band performed their first gig. The band was only the sixth to receive the award along with the likes of Blur and Elton John. With all the members turning out, they later performed a live set to a small crowd of around 30 people. Quinn described the award as an "honour", and said the plaque meant more to him than other awards that they have received along the way.[41]
