This year marks the 38th edition of the Goya Awards, with Fernando Méndez Leite, president of the Film Academy, confirming at a press conference that the ceremony will take place in Valladolid in February 2024.
Valladolid will take on Seville as the host city, a move that follows a pattern of rotation since 2019 when the awards shifted venues and culminated in a final ceremony held on February 11. The decision signals a new chapter for the Goyas as they continue to travel across major Spanish cities, bringing the prestige of Spain’s cinema to different regional audiences.
Looking ahead, the plan includes the possibility of Granada hosting the prizes in 2025, expanding the geographic footprint of the ceremony and giving the public in another historic city a front-row seat to Spain’s cinematic achievements. The path to 2025 has been discussed in broader terms as the academy evaluates offers from multiple cities, weighing factors such as logistics, tourism impact, and the cinematic community’s engagement.
Earlier in the week, Méndez Leite outlined the board’s reception of the proposal to relocate the event beyond Madrid. The decision was presented to the Film Academy’s board of directors and met with broad support, reflecting a shared interest in highlighting regional cinema while maintaining the awards’ high standards and global visibility.
From Valladolid, the mayor, Oscar Puente, spoke from the academy headquarters and conveyed enthusiasm for the initiative. His statements reflected a conviction that the city can deliver a memorable staging, a premiere that could set new benchmarks for production values, audience experience, and media coverage. The mayor emphasized that Valladolid aims not merely to host a ceremony but to deliver what he described as the best Goya premiere in history, underscoring the city’s commitment to showcasing Spanish film to both national and international viewers.
