The Quirino Awards, known in Spanish as Premios Quirino de la Animación Iberoamericana ("Quinino Awards for Ibero-American animation") are an annual awards ceremony dedicated to reward achievements in Ibero-American animated productions. Its categories recognize feature films, short films and television productions.
The awards were established in 2017, with the first awards ceremony taking place on 7 April 2018 in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain. Since then, the ceremony has usually taken place in May of each year during several days in some location within Tenerife. The awards' name is in honour of Italian-Argentinian animation director Quirino Cristiani, known for being responsible of the 1917 film El Apóstol, considered the world's first animated feature film.
