History
When they were first established in 2003, the Graffiti Awards only rewarded Uruguayan rock. In subsequent years they became more representative, and went on to reward all genres of the music of Uruguay.[1]
Since 2014, the ceremony has been held at the Dr. Adela Reta National Auditorium.[2][3][4]
