The Grand Jury Prize is an award given at the Venice Film Festival to one of the feature films in competition slate since 1951. It is considered the second place award next to the main award, the Golden Lion.
Since 2016, the official name of the award has been simply the Grand Jury Prize, but it has had several other names since its creation in 1951: Special Jury Prize (awarded from 1951 to 1982; and from 2006 to 2012); and Grand Special Jury Prize (awarded from 1983 to 2005; and from 2013 to 2015).
Elia Kazan was the first winner for A Streetcar Named Desire in 1951, while Maura Delpero is the most recent winner for Vermiglio in 2024.
