The Goya Award for Best New Actress (Spanish: Premio Goya a la mejor actriz revelación) is one of the Goya Awards presented annually by the Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences of Spain (AACCE) since the 9th edition of the awards in 1994. It is given in honor of an actress, in one of their first prominent film roles, who has delivered an outstanding leading or supporting performance in a Spanish film.
History
[edit]Since its inception, the award has been given to 30 actresses. At the 9th Goya Awards ceremony held in 1995, Ruth Gabriel was the first winner of this award for her role in Running Out of Time.
Multiple winners and nominees in the category have gone on to win or be nominated for the other two female performance categories at the Goya Awards (Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress). Winner Natalia de Molina and nominees Candela Peña, Blanca Portillo, Malena Alterio, Nathalie Poza, and Bárbara Lennie have all won Best Actress. Additionally, the only actress who has won Goya awards in all three female acting categories is Laia Marull.
Since the 26th edition (2011) to be a candidate in any acting category, the only condition is to be over 16 years of age. Before that edition, four actresses under 16 years of age won the award: Ivana Baquero, Nerea Camacho, Marina Comas and María Valverde. Benedicta Sánchez is the oldest winner at the age of 84 for her role in Fire Will Come.
For the 39th ceremony, the Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences of Spain introduced a modification consisting of the requirement of an authorization signed by the actress accepting her participation in the Goya Awards.[1] For the 41th ceremony, new regulations were established, setting as a requirement that candidates must not have appeared in more than four feature films released in commercial theaters as a supporting actress, and that they must not have worked professionally as a film actress for more than 10 years.[2]
As of the 2026 ceremony, Miriam Garlo is the most recent winner in this category for her role as Ángela in Deaf.
