Carmen Awards

The Carmen Awards (Spanish: Premios Carmen) are Andalusia's main annual film awards, presented by Andalusian Film Academy.

The Andalusian Film Academy (Academia del Cine de Andalucía) was created in 2020.

Upon the announcement of the 1st Carmen Awards, the ASECAN awards reduced the number of categories, removing the technical categories.
