National Television Award (Spain)

The National Television Award (Spain) is an annual award presented by the Spanish Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (Academia de las Ciencias y las Artes de Televisión de España – ATV). These awards recognize excellence in the Spanish television industry, honoring individuals and programs across a variety of categories.

The awards aim to celebrate the creativity, innovation, and quality of television production in Spain. Categories typically include awards for acting (male and female leads and supporting roles), directing, screenwriting, production, and technical aspects of television programming. Awards are also given to specific genres, such as news, entertainment, fiction (drama and comedy series), and documentaries.

The selection process usually involves a panel of industry professionals who nominate and vote for the winners. The Academy considers factors such as audience impact, critical reception, and contribution to the development of the television industry in Spain.

The National Television Award is considered a prestigious recognition within the Spanish television landscape, and winning an award can significantly enhance the visibility and reputation of both the individuals and the programs recognized. The ceremony itself is a prominent event, often televised and widely covered by the media.
