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

The awards are given by the newspaper El País and disseminated by its entertainment supplement Sábado Show.

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.
