== Background == The Caleuche Awards are the first Chilean awards ceremony destined to recognize mainly acting performances.<ref name="1st"/> Previously, the Altazor Awards were presented from 2000 to 2014 to reward the best in Chilean visual arts, theater, dance, music, cinema and television. These awards included categories for Best Actor and Best Actress, in film, television and theater. During the runtime of the awards, Chileactores was one of the institutions involved in the organization of said awards.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2015/01/30/tras-15-anos-los-premios-altazor-dejan-de-existir-por-falta-de-recursos-2/|title=Tras 15 años, los premios Altazor dejan de existir por falta de recursos|website=El Mostrador|date=30 January 2015|accessdate=18 September 2023|language=es}}</ref> On the other hand, the Pedro Sienna Awards were presented regularly from 2006 to 2017. They were presented to award the best in Chilean cinema and also included performance categories, both leading and supporting.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cultura.gob.cl/convocatorias/premios-pedro-sienna-2017/|title=Consejo de la Cultura abre convocatoria para los Premios Pedro Sienna 2017|website=Ministry of Cultures, Arts and Heritage|date=4 April 2017|accessdate=18 September 2023}}</ref>
The awards were created in 2016 by Chileactores through their foundation Fundación Gestión (Gestionarte) under the name "Premios Caleuche, Gente que se transforma" (Caleuche Awards, People that transform). The awards name and subtitle make reference to the transformations that actors make for their work and comes from the Caleuche, a ghost ship from Chilote mythology whose name means "transformed people" in Mapudungun.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tvn.cl/especiales/premios-caleuche/notas/que-son-los-premios-caleuche|title=¿Qué son los premios Caleuche?|website=TVN|date=9 January 2023|accessdate=18 September 2023}}</ref> {{multiple image | align = right | direction = vertical | total_width = 250 | image_style = border:none;

Said category has recognized both performances in comedic programs and Stand-up comedy routines in televised events such as Teletón and the Viña del Mar International Song Festival.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.elciudadano.com/artes/cine-artes/premios-caleuche-gente-que-se-transforma-2018-incluira-por-primera-vez-un-galardon-al-mejor-comediante-de-la-temporada/12/20/|title=«Premios Caleuche, Gente que se Transforma» 2018, incluirá por primera vez un galardón al mejor comediante de la temporada|website=El Ciudadano|first=Carlos|last=Montes|accessdate=18 September 2023|language=es}}</ref>
== Jury == The awards process is divided in two phases. Prior to the first phase, a set of juries is determined, composed of eleven industry professionals (actors, film directors, television directors, screenwriters, journalists and critics) for each section (feature films, television series and miniseries/anthology series), which change for each edition of the awards. During the first phase, the juries vote for the nominees while during the second phase, all the associate members of Chileactores vote for the winners.<ref name="Bases">{{cite web|url=https://premioscaleuche.cl/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/BASES-PREMIOS-CALEUCHE-2023-PARA-WEB-V.1-sjc.pdf|title=Bases Premios Caleuche, Gente que se transforma|website=Premios Caleuche|accessdate=18 September 2023|language=es}}</ref>
For the special awards, both the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Breakthrough Award are determined by members of a council in Chileactores, while the Audience Award is chosen via popular vote through the awards website.
== Trophy == For the first awards edition, Chilean sculptor Palolo Valdés designed fourteen unique bronze statuettes, inspired by the expressiveness of the body of an actor.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cnnchile.com/pais/que-son-los-premios-caleucher_20160119/|title=¿Qué son los Premios Caleuche?|website=CNN Chile|date=19 January 2016|accessdate=18 September 2023|language=es}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.chileactores.org/lanzamos-nuestro-premio-caleuche/|title=¡Lanzamos nuestro Premio Caleuche!|website=Chileactores|date=22 December 2016|accessdate=18 September 2023|language=es}}</ref>
Since the second edition, the trophy is a bronze statuette, designed by Chilean sculptor and ceramist Eugenia González, which represents "a genderless winged being that can transform into a thousand characters and species".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tvn.cl/especiales/premios-caleuche/notas/la-estatuilla-de-los-premios-caleuche-2023-su-historia-y-significado|title=Historia y significado: Conoce la estatuilla de los Premios Caleuche 2023|website=TVN|date=25 January 2023|accessdate=18 September 2023|language=es}}</ref>
