The Martín Fierro Awards (Spanish: Premios Martín Fierro) is the name of the most prominent awards for Argentine radio and television, granted by APTRA, the Association of Argentine Television and Radio Journalists.
The awards were first given in 1959, limited to television. The next year, the awards adopted their current name, after José Hernández'epic poemMartín Fierro (considered by some as the national epic of Argentina). It was embodied on a statuette of the gauchoMartín Fierro, by sculptor Luis Perlotti, weighing over 2 kilograms (4 lb).[1] When the award began, the sole television station in the country was Channel 7. As the media outlets grew, the awards expanded to incorporate media from throughout the country.[2] In 1967, radio productions were included in the awards for the first time.[3] Nowadays there is a special rotating venue, honoring the winners from all the Provinces.[2]
Because of the censorship and persecution of artists carried over during the 1976-83 military dictatorship, the membership of APTRA dwindled and the awards were suspended. It was not until 1988 that the award was revived. Since 1995, it has also included special productions for cable networks, and – in 1992 – the Golden Martín Fierro was added to honor the "best of the best". In 2004, the voting became computerized to make it both more secure and simpler, as well as allowing voting to take place immediately before broadcasting.[1]
