The Troféu Dodô e Osmar or "Dodô and Osmar" Trophies are awarded every year after Carnival. While there are several organizations that bestow Carnival awards, the Dodô and Osmar trophies are considered to be the most prestigious. They are, in essence, the “Oscars” of the Carnival in Salvador.

Best Carnival Song is, of course, the most important of prize of them all. Here’s a complete listing of the Best Carnival Song since this awards inception in 1992

Note: The awards cerimony was cancelled for Carnival 2012, so no awards are listed for Carnival 2012.
