Vinograd was awarded a Pushcart Prize for her poem, "For The Young Men Who Died of AIDS," [10] and in 1985 won an American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation.[11]
The City of Berkeley, California, awarded her a Poetry Lifetime Achievement Award. On June 5, 2004, Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates declared that day to be "Julia Vinograd Day," for representing the spirit of Berkeley: "She gives us a voice when ours vanishes. She gives voice to the homeless, the street performers, the merchant, the coffee drinker, friends and foes alike, and her words, like a sharp knife, cut deep into the truth. She describes us as full of life, and love, and heartache. She makes us honest. We, the eccentric, the lonely, the broken are given a voice."[12][13] She has been called Berkeley unofficial "poet laureate".[14].
