The Mara de Oro Awards (Premios Mara de Oro) are a gala organized by the Fundación Mara de Oro de Venezuela e Internacional. They are the oldest awards in Venezuela in terms of arts and entertainment.[1] With its slogan, "rewarding the best of the best", in each installment the categories evaluated by expert personnel in the area have increased, covering literature, medicine, social sciences, politics, among other guilds.
Its main headquarters is the Zulia state (Venezuela) from 1955 to the present,[2] with a correspondent in the center and east of the country for some special editions. Recently, it debuted outside of Venezuela with its international edition.[3]
