Apolo Awards

The Apolo Awards (Spanish: Premios Apolo de cine LGTB) are annual awards given to the best LGBT-themed films that have been released in Spain. Since 2016 they have been awarded by LGBT culture outlet Dos Manzanas, with the intention to highlight high-quality filmmaking in order to encourage more LGBT-themed works to be distributed in the country.

History

The Apolo Awards were founded in 2016 by Dos Manzanas. The magazine and website Dos Manzanas reports on LGBT culture in Spain as well as advocating for LGBT+ equality. After informally awarding LGBT-themed book awards in 2015, Dos Manzanas started the Apolo Awards, referencing Olympian god Apollo, with an aim to vindicate distributing LGBT-themed works in Spain by celebrating the high quality of LGBT+ films. They also award the Spanish distributors who help combat LGBT-phobia by showing the films. Many nominees and winners are thus the best international productions, with fewer Spanish films, as well as the local distributors of them.

For the 2016 awards, the Best Song category was added. In response to more LGBT-themed films being released, particularly by international streaming services, the 2021 awards upped the nominations per category to four (from three) for most, and to ten (from five) for Best Film. It also added three new categories to better appreciate more diverse films, each with five nominees: Best Comedy, Best Documentary, and Best Spanish Film.
