The film also won the Best Director of Arts Award, Best Fiction, the Promising Actor Award and the Adana Audience Award. 

In the main categories, the Best Director Award went to Tolga Karaçelik for “Sarmaşık” (Ivy) while Nadir Sarıbacak won the Best Actor Award for his role in “Sarmaşık” and Nihal Koldaş won the Best Actress Award for her role in “Ana Yurdu” (Motherland).
