Miami based Fama Magazine recognized 17 Latino artists during this year’s Fama Awards. The honorees were selected by the magazine’s readers and had to be present to win. More than 700 party goers and 100 celebrities attended this year’s Fama Awards in South Beach, Florida. The Fama Awards are designed to “rescue the value and the idea of awarding in general, to honor achievement.”
“All the awards in the U.S. Hispanic market are for music and usually only for one network; Univision will not mention the Billboards Awards and Telemundo will do the same with Premio lo Nuestro. The award like Premios TVNovela is only for the novelas in Televisa,” said Al Vazquez, owner, Fama Magazine.
Each Fama Award is cast in bronze and weighs six pounds
