The XIV Macondo Awards ceremony is scheduled for October 25, 2026, in Cali, which will host the gala for the first time.[^3]

The Colombian Academy of Cinema presented the nominees for this edition on a Friday at Proyecto Kinder in Bogotá.[^2] The October date in Cali represents the city's first turn as host of the ceremony.

The read here is that placing the gala in Cali, rather than Bogotá, appears to signal the Academy's interest in spreading the event beyond the capital, though no fact in the record states that reasoning directly.
