From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Premio Cuervo Tradicional (English: Cuervo Traditional Award) is a lifetime achievement or career recognition award presented at the Morelia International Film Festival by its sponsors, José Cuervo, to recognize a Mexican cinema personality.

Prize

The prize includes a statuette called El Ojo, by Javier Marín,[1][2][3] and a monetary award of 120,000[4][5] or 130,000[6][7] pesos to be put towards a future project; this is said to affirm support for Mexican filmmaking excellence and allow those in cinema to continue creating.[6][7] In 2009, recipient Carlos Cuarón put the funds towards creating the short film The Second Bakery Attack.[8]
