| 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 its current name, after José Hernández' epic poem Martín Fierro. It was embodied on a statuette of a gaucho, by sculptor Luis Perlotti, weighing over 2 kilograms. Before 1967, all awards were given to Buenos Aires' media, but nowadays there is a special rotating venue, honoring the winners from the Provinces. 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 a newer edition was granted. Since 1990, it has also included special productions for cable networks and -in 1992- the Golden Martín Fierro was added to honor the "best among the best ones". |
