The Goya 2013 will be awarded on Sunday, February 17

For the first time, the great festival of Spanish cinema will be held at the Príncipe Felipe Convention and Congress Center (Hotel Auditorium) in Madrid.

The 27th edition of the Goya Awards ceremony will be held on Sunday, February 17, at the Príncipe Felipe Convention and Congress Center (Hotel Auditorium) in Madrid.

This change of location is due to the preventive closure of the Municipal Congress Palace-Juan Carlos I Fairgrounds, which has hosted the last galas of these awards, except for the 25th anniversary one which was held at the Teatro Real.

The gala, as usual, will be broadcast by TVE's La 1.

At the proposal of the Board of Directors of the Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences of Spain, there has also been a modification in the voting period for the second round, which has been established from January 14 to February 7. The first round of voting begins on December 10, and will end on January 3, at 2:00 p.m.

On December 19, at 11:00 a.m., at the institution's headquarters, a press conference will take place to report all the details of the event.

As usual, Panorama Audiovisual will launch a special edition days before the award ceremony with all the news about the Goya Awards.
