Caleuche Awards

The Caleuche Awards (Spanish: Premios Caleuche) are Chilean honors given to reward the acting profession for the best performances of the season, in movies, television serials, series and miniseries, and comedies. They were created and organized by the Corporation of Actors of Chile (Chileactores), in conjunction with VTR.[1][2]

The awards are given according to a vote of all members of Chileactores. A jury chooses the nominees in leading and supporting performances in each one of the four categories: Cinema, TV Serial, TV Miniseries or Series, and Comedy.

The first awards ceremony was held on 25 January 2016 at the Nescafé Theater of the Arts.[3]

Award

Every year, the prize organization holds an open contest for plastic artists in the area of sculpture, design, or other related disciplines, for the fashioning of the award to be presented to all winners at the ceremony. The statue designed for the first edition was made by the outstanding Chilean sculptor Pedro "Palolo" Valdés. This was inspired by the bodily expression of the acting profession, and conceived according to the etymology of the word caleuche, which means "people who are transformed".[4]

Categories

There are 13 awards given within the four main categories. In addition, recognitions of Career and Breakthrough are made with two special prizes.
