Univision’s highly awaited “Premios Juventud” (Youth Awards) kicks off a new era announcing the nominees for this year’s show. To celebrate Latin music and culture, “Premios Juventud” features memorable performances with the hottest stars and emerging talent, uniting all through the power of music. Renowned for honoring those individuals making a difference with the Agents of Change award, this year the show will recognize everyday heroes of the pandemic and people leading social change but with a different twist - a live virtual award show with a virtual audience.
The evening of “Premios Juventud” starts off with “PJ Takeover,” a one-hour pre-show hosted by Jomari Goyso, Clarissa Molina and the multi-talented artist Amara La Negra, beginning at 7 p.m. ET. Followed immediately by the award show, it will be hosted by Ana Patricia Gámez, Francisca Lachapel and Borja Voces in a three-hour live event beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, August 13.
The 17th edition of “Premios Juventud” includes 140 nominees in 28 different categories with J Balvin leading with 12 nominations, followed by Karol G (9), Bad Bunny (8), Anuel AA (7), Daddy Yankee and Manuel Turizo (5), Banda MS, Maluma, and Sebastián Yatra (4).
