Diosas de Plata

The Silver Goddesses () is a film award granted annually by the Mexican Film Journalists Association (PECIME) in recognition of professionals and excellence in the Mexican film industry as assessed by the association's voting membership. The first award ceremony was held in 1963; making Tlayucan (1962) the first winner of the Silver Goddesses for Best Film and in eight different categories.

History

The Silver Goddesses were established in 1963 by the Periodistas Cinematográficos de México (PECIME), making the award one of the oldest film awards in Mexico. Unlike industry guild awards, the Silver Goddesses are selected by the association's film journalist membership, recognising achievement in Mexican cinema through critical and journalistic assessment.

The 2019 edition was cancelled. The award reached its 50th edition in 2025.

The Statuette

The award statuette is a silver-plated female goddess figure. The trophies are manufactured by D'Argenta, a Mexican luxury artisanal craftsmanship company founded in 1976, specialising in handcrafted silver and gold-plated sculptures. D'Argenta has also produced trophies for the Spotify Awards Mexico ceremony (2020) and the Florida Derby.
