Clair Obscur won multiple awards but used generative AI art as placeholders during production.

The Indie Game Awards revoked Clair Obscur’s Debut and Game of the Year after the AI disclosure.

IGAs reassigned the awards (Blue Prince, Sorry We’re Closed) and reignited debate on gen-AI use.

From my understanding, they got banned because Sandfall declared it as not having used AI at time of submission which was proved incorrect by the AI placeholder assets.
