Prix Iris for Revelation of the Year

The Prix Iris for Revelation of the Year (French: Prix Iris de la révélation de l'année) is an annual award, presented by Québec Cinéma as part of its Prix Iris program, to honour the best performances by emerging actors in their first major film roles who were not nominated in the main lead and supporting acting categories.[1] The award is not separated by gender.

Rykko Bellemare, the first winner of the award, became the second indigenous actor to win an acting award after Natar Ungalaaq won Best Actor for The Necessities of Life (Ce qu'il faut pour vivre). A Colony (Une colonie) became the second film to receive three nominations in an acting category after Les Boys III received three Best Actor nominations.

To date, one actor and two actresses who were nominated for Revelation of the Year received subsequent nominations in other acting categories:
