The Lo Nuestro Award for Grupero Artist of the Year is an award presented annually by American network Univision . It was first awarded in 2001 and has been given annually since. The accolade 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]
The award was first presented to Mexican singer Joan Sebastian in 2001. Mexican group Los Temerarios hold the most wins and most nominations with 6 out of eight nominations. Fellow Mexican group Bronco - El Gigante de América is the most nominated act without a win, with six unsuccessful nominations. Mexican singer, Alicia Villarreal is the only female act to have won the accolade.
