Ikar Award

Ikar Award (Russian: Национальная анимационная премия «Икар», romanized: Nacional'naya animacionnaya premiya Ikar) is a Russian national animation award. It is presented for professional achievements and contributions to the development of the industry. The award is given annually on Russian Animation Day,[1] April 8. The initiator and artistic director of the award is Sergey Kapkov.

History

The award was established in 2014.[2] The first ceremony[3] took place on April 8, 2015, at the Central House of Cinematographers, funded by leading animation studios of the country.[4] Distinctive features of the event from the very beginning were the animated stage and hall decorations[5] in the style of a famous Russian animated film, as well as an animation jam session of collective authorship. The very first experience – the video clip "Tender Owls" (Russian: Совы нежные)[6] – became a viral video on the Internet.

In 2020, due to the pandemic, the ceremony was postponed to September 7[7] and was held in the Engineering Building of the Tretyakov Gallery. In 2021, the ceremony took place on September 9 at the renovated Khudozhestvenny cinema.[8] In 2022, animators gathered on June 5 at the theater "School of Modern Play".[9]

The award winners are determined by an expert council elected by general voting of the animation community. Initially, it included 35 authoritative representatives of the industry;[10] since 2017, the number has increased to 50.[11]

  • Creative producer of the award — director Alyona Oyatyeva.
  • Executive producer — Alexandra Konstantinova.
  • General director — producer Alexander Gerasimov.
