The Independent Spirit Awards are presented by Film Independent, a non-profit organization dedicated to independent film and independent filmmakers
In 2007, the ceremony was slightly changed to Film Independent's Spirit Awards
Since 2006, winners have received a trophy depicting a bird sitting atop of a pole with the shoestrings from the previous design wrapped around the pole
