Tenerife to Host Inaugural Golden Ring Awards Honoring Antonio Resines

Tenerife has been chosen as the home for the first-ever Golden Ring Awards, a move that highlights the Canary Islands' growing status as a major hub for the Spanish film and television industry. The event, organized by the Circle of Spanish Series Professionals, will take place on June 20th at the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Trade Fair Center. It aims to showcase the global influence and quality of Spanish television.

The highlight of the inaugural ceremony will be the presentation of an Honorary Award to actor Antonio Resines. The organizers chose Resines to honor his impressive four-decade career, during which he has appeared in over thirty television series and programs. His work is being celebrated for its longevity and his ability to adapt to the changing landscape of Spanish media—from the early days of public broadcasting to the modern era of streaming platforms.

Joan Álvarez, head of the organizing committee, praised Resines for his versatility, noting his skill in moving seamlessly between drama, comedy, and suspense. The award serves as both a tribute to Resines’ individual achievements and a celebration of how the acting profession has evolved in Spain. By honoring an actor so closely linked to classic Spanish cinema, the Circle sees him as a vital link between the country’s acting traditions and the demands of today’s industry.

By launching these awards in Tenerife, the Circle of Spanish Series Professionals hopes to set a new standard of excellence. The event is designed to recognize the talent behind the high-quality storytelling that defines Spanish popular culture, establishing the island’s capital as the premier stage for evaluating the impact of the nation's serialized productions.
