## Background[edit]

In 1989, the Lo Nuestro Awards were established by Univision, to recognize the most talented performers of Latin music.[1] The nominees and winners were selected by a voting poll conducted among program directors of Spanish-language radio stations in the United States and the results were tabulated and certified by the accounting firm Arthur Andersen.[1][2] The categories included are for the Pop, Tropical/Salsa, Regional Mexican and Music Video.[2] The trophy awarded is shaped like a treble clef.[1] The 10th Lo Nuestro Awards ceremony was held on May 14, 1998, in a live presentation held at the James L. Knight Center in Miami, Florida. The ceremony was broadcast in the United States and Latin America by Univision.[2][3]
