The Max Awards for the Performing Arts (Los Premios Max de las Artes Escénicas, Spanish pronunciation: [los ˈpɾemjos maɣs ðe las ˈaɾtes esˈθenikas]), commonly known as the Premios Max, are presented annually to honour professionals and organisations in Spain for their contributions to the performing arts. The awards are named after Max Estrella, the protagonist of Bohemian Lights, which is considered to be one of the most outstanding works of Spanish theatre of the twentieth century. The awards are organised by the General Society of Authors and Publishers, which created the awards in 1998, alongside the Spanish Academy of the Performing Arts.

The awards ceremony has a different theme and generally takes place in a different location each year, and the hosting city is considered to be Spain's capital of the performing arts for that year. The ceremony is performed and directed by prestigious actors and directors at a national level, and features theatre, dance, and musical performances throughout the show, which is broadcast on radio and television by Spanish national broadcaster RTVE.

The Max Awards are considered to be the most important performing arts award in Spain, comparable to the Laurence Olivier Award in the United Kingdom, the Tony Award in the United States or the Molière AwardinFrance. Their equivalent film awards are the Goya Awards.

History[edit]

The Max Awards are an initiative of the General Society of Authors and Publishers (SGAE), following the model of the Molières, Oliviers, and Tonys. Winners are chosen by their peers in two rounds using a secret ballot, and are presented with a trophy designed by Joan Brossa depicting an apple wearing a mask.[1][2]

The award ceremony is usually held in the spring to coincide with the middle of the season, and has taken place since 1998 at various locations, including Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Bilbao, Valencia, Vigo, Zaragoza, Guadalajara, Gran Canaria and Córdoba.[3]
