Which two major awards did Quinceañera win at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival?

Quinceañera won the Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.

The film was a notable success at Sundance, an influential festival for independent cinema. Its recognition came in the dramatic competition and from festival audiences, giving it both an official jury honor and a public-response award.

Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland wrote and directed the film. Set in Echo Park, Los Angeles, it centers on Magdalena, a Mexican American teenager whose planned quinceañera is affected by family conflict and personal revelations.

These awards are sometimes shortened in summaries to “two Sundance awards,” which can obscure the specific distinctions. The Grand Jury Prize reflects the competition jury’s decision, while the Audience Award reflects votes or responses from festival attendees. They are not the same as the Academy Awards or Golden Globes.
