The CEC Awards[2] or CEC Medals[3] (Spanish: Medallas del CEC), whose full name is Medallas del Círculo de Escritores Cinematográficos, are awards presented annually by the Círculo de Escritores Cinematográficos (CEC; transl. Circle of Cinematographic Writers) to distinguish films, artists, technicians, and writers related to cinema, both Spanish and international.[4] The ceremony held its first edition in 1946, when it awarded prizes in thirteen different categories. The categories have varied over time, and in 2016, there were twenty. The awards went through a period of crisis in the 1980s, and the ceremony was suspended from 1986 until 1990. The prize consists of a simple bronze medal and has no financial prize attached to it. They are the oldest cinematic awards in Spain.
