The **Metropolitan Theatre Awards** (Spanish: *Premios Metropolitanos de Teatro*), commonly known as *Premios Los Metro* or simply **Los Metro**, is an annual ceremony which honors theatre performers, live productions, [digital theatre](/source/Digital_theatre) and [stagecraft](/source/Stagecraft) in Mexico City only. It is important to mention that the productions noted in these awards are only local productions in Mexico City and not Mexico as a country.

Since 2018 there have been four ceremonies held in [Mexico City](/source/Mexico_City) with a television broadcast covered by [MVS TV](/source/MVS_TV). The awards are also broadcast digitally through [YouTube](/source/YouTube).

## History

The awards were established in 2017 by the Academia Metropolitana de Teatro as an annual ceremony with support of the [Secretariat of Culture](/source/Secretariat_of_Culture) of Mexico and the Secretariat of Tourism of Mexico City,[1] and were first held in 2018.[2] Plans for a ceremony in 2020 were suspended in response to the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic). The awards are set to resume in 2021.

## Categories

As of 2021, 34 categories are awarded, with different categories for original plays created in Mexico and local adaptations of international productions. A lifetime achievement award is presented as a non-competitive category with the backing of Mexico's Secretariat of Culture.

Nominees are decided by an internal committee,[5] while winners are voted by a jury of a rotating group of theatre professionals.

Winning nominees are awarded a [silver](/source/Silver)-plated trophy designed by Mexican-Peruvian sculptor [Aldo Chaparro](/source/Aldo_Chaparro),[6] with one category offering a monetary prize for independent producers and theatre associations.[7]
