The Spiders (previously known as the Golden Spider Awards and for sponsorship reasons as the Eircom Spiders and Eir Spiders) is an annual awards ceremony for Irish contributions to online and digital media across a number of categories.[3][4]
Established in 1996,[5] the awards are hosted by Business & Finance magazine and historically sponsored by telecommunications company Eir (formerly known as Eircom).[6]
A parallel set of awards for young people aged 19 and under, known as the "Junior Spiders", was established in 2009.[5][7]
Since 2018 the awards have reputedly come "under the umbrella" of the Dublin Tech Summit conference.[8]
