Univision’s “Premios Juventud” (PJ/Youth Awards) announced the nominations for its highly anticipated edition in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
For the first time in its history, “Premios Juventud” will broadcast live summer’s hottest bash in la isla del encanto (Island of Enchantment). Under the theme “Celebra Tu Pasión” (Celebrate Your Passion), “Premios Juventud” will continue to recognize the best of Latin music, social causes, and pop culture, and this year, PJ added ten new categories to reflect the evolution in music.
The summer bash will also mark the grand return of “Noche de Estrellas de Premios Juventud,” the most dynamic and entertaining red carpet show, featuring LIVE interviews, memorable musical performances, and special awards. The 4-hour broadcast will air LIVE from Coliseo Jose Miguel Agrelot on July 21 at 7 p.m. ET/ 6 CT on Univision.
This year’s “Premios Juventud” will be hosted by an all-star studded group making their debut as PJ host including Eduin Caz, lead vocalist and front man for Grupo Firme and winner of four “Premios Juventud” awards; the popular “El Gordo y La Flaca” co-host and actress Clarissa Molina, previous host of pre-show “Noches de Estrellas,” and backstage host; recognized international actress and singer Danna Paola, who made PJ history in 2020 as part of an unforgettable tribute to Selena Quintanilla’s legacy; and bachata superstar Prince Royce, one of the most nominated artists to “Premios Juventud” and winner of 20 PJ awards.
Global superstars J Balvin and Karol G top the nominees’ list with 11 nods apiece. They are followed by Rauw Alejandro (9 nominations), Farruko (8 nominations), Ángela Aguilar, Camilo and Grupo Firme (7 nominations), and Anitta, Christian Nodal, El Alfa, Maluma, and Rosalía (6 nominations).
