Hi Ramzi
Sorry neither of these are awards by Goodreads standards as there are no clear winners with these awards.
You can add them to your author bio or book description if you want.
Thank you. What are the goodreads standard awards please?

Be for a book not for the author so no to the Nobel
Before entering an award you can always ask here if it would qualify for the award field. I'm happy to help as long as you give me a link. :)
The awards have to have a clear winner, like 1st place, 2nd place, etc. rather than be a group of books. Here's the actual policy:
A literary award should be presented periodically by a recognized literary source such as a writers' organization, book council, library association, publishing house, or major review site and should be subjectively selected by that source. Bestseller lists are not subjectively selected and should not be counted as awards.
Awards should have a clear winner; ranked lists are generally not considered awards. If an award has a middle tier such as an honor medal or a shortlist and is an award notable enough that other nominees are also listed, the award can be listed as two awards, one for the winner and the longlisted nominees and another for the shortlist.
Other non-award accomplishments such as bestseller lists or reading list selections should be noted in book descriptions.
ETA I see that Carol already explained!
