Poe received two awards in his lifetime. One was a $50 prize for "MS. Found in a Bottle" awarded by the Baltimore Saturday Visiter (sic) in October, 1833. The other was a $100 prize awarded by the Dollar Newspaper for his story The Gold Bug. Literary Awards were not common at that time.

His most famous award would be getting inducted to the Hall of Fame in New York, this happened in 1910. Also many of his short stories were published as the prize-winning story for various magazine competions (earlier magazines focused more on literature than news and politics.) I am sure there's plenty of others but these are all that I can remember off-hand.

He won prizes--monetary ones for the stories he'd written--but no awards.
