The Lo Nuestro Award for Artist of the Year is an honor presented annually by American network Univision . The Lo Nuestro Awards were first awarded since 1989 and was established to recognize the most talented performers of Latin music.[ 1] The nominees and winners were originally selected by a voting poll conducted among program directors of Spanish-language radio stations in the United States and also based on chart performance on Billboard Latin music charts, with the results being tabulated and certified by the accounting firm Deloitte .[ 1] [ 2] At the present time, the winners are selected by the audience through an online survey.[ 3] The trophy awarded is shaped in the form of a treble clef .[ 1]
In 2010, the Artist of the Year award was presented for the first time and the nominees included bands Aventura and Maná and performers Flex , Luis Fonsi and Vicente Fernández .[ 4] Aventura earned the award, and also was the recipient of the first Latin Artist of the Year accolade at the Billboard Latin Music Awards , which combines achievements on both the Top Latin Albums and Hot Latin Songs charts.[ 5] The following year, reggaeton duo Wisin & Yandel won the category, and also received the Lo Nuestro Award for Urban Album and Song of the Year.[ 6]
Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira was recognized as Person of the Year by the Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences in November 2011;[ 7] three months later was awarded the Lo Nuestro Award for Artist of the Year.[ 8] In 2012, Shakira also received the American Music Award for Favorite Latin Artist .[ 9] American banda performer Jenni Rivera won the accolade posthumously, and at the 2013 ceremony received a tribute by various artists, including actor Edward James Olmos and singers Thalía , Paulina Rubio , and Gerardo Ortíz , among others.[ 10] Mexican band Maná is the most nominated act without a win, with four unsuccessful nominations.
