Prix Iris Tribute Award

The Iris Tribute Award (French: Prix Iris Hommage) is an annual award presented by Québec Cinéma, as part of its Prix Iris program, as a lifetime achievement award for distinguished accomplishments in the Cinema of Quebec.[1]

Until 2016, it was known as the Jutra Hommage, presented as part of the Jutra Awards.[2] It was renamed from Jutra to Iris, alongside the entire Prix Iris program, when Québec Cinéma stripped the name of film director Claude Jutra from its awards program in 2016.[2] The Prix Iris name was announced in October 2016.[3]
