The Iris Awards (Spanish: Premios Iris), known until 2011 as ATV Awards (Spanish: Premios de la Academia de TV / Spanish: Premios ATV),[1] are television awards given by the Spanish Academy of Television and Audiovisual Arts and Sciences.

The awards were created in 1998, when Antonio Mercero was at the helm of the academy.

[3][4] In 2012, they were renamed to Iris Awards,[5] upon a suggestion brought forward by deceased academy member Tomás Zardoya [gl].

[6] The award's design was also modified, bringing a statuette representing an eye which simulates a camera diaphragm.

[9] The main awards are voted by the academy members before a notary, although separate awards "del Jurado" (given by a group of television professionals) and "de la Crítica" (given by critics and television analysts) have been also called.
