The Iris Awards (Spanish: Premios Iris), created by the newspaper El País, are given for achievements in Uruguayan radio, television and social networks.[1]

## History

[edit]

The first edition of the awards was in 1983, although they were not given again until 1995. Since then they have been delivered annually. There are more than 30 categories, among which the Golden Iris (Spanish: Premio Iris de Oro) is most prominent. The awards are given by the newspaper El País and disseminated by its entertainment supplement Sábado Show.[2]

The trophy's shape is based on a human figure holding an eye with a square iris. Depending on the profession of the person who won it, a different silhouette appears under the figure's feet – a film reel, musical note, etc.

Since 2010, the ceremony has been broadcast live on television throughout Uruguay.[2]

Currently some categories can be voted on by the public.
