Premios Juventud is an annual Spanish-language awards show that celebrates Latin music artists as well as young people recognised for work in their communities. It is organised for audiences across the United States and Latin America, with performances forming a major part of the ceremony.
The awards cover a range of Latin music styles, from pop and urban music to regional Mexican music. Artists such as Christian Nodal, Marc Anthony and Farruko are established figures in different parts of the Latin music industry, while newer acts also use the show to reach wider audiences.
The 2026 ceremony is being staged in Spain, marking the first time Premios Juventud has taken place in Europe. Marbella has a strong connection with Spanish and Latin entertainment, and the move reflects the international audience and influence of Latin music.
