Osobnosť televíznej obrazovky (Television Screen Personality), more commonly abbreviated as OTO, was a Slovak awards show recognizing the public figures and the work of popular culture in the country. Established by Art Production Agency (APA) in 2000, the television poll-based awards were voted on by the general viewing audiences. The annual ceremonies of the accolades were screened live by the national television network RTVS, usually in March for the previous calendar year.[3]
The categories awarded regularly, included Program, Actor, Actress, Male and Female Singer, as well two special awards; Hall of Fame and Absolute OTO.
The announcement of awards' discontinuation was announced in 2022, following negative controversies in previous years, pandemic delays, declining popularity and high production costs.[4]
