In the Latin Grammy process, music creators vote around the world, who are part of the Latin Recording Academy and represent the various genres and creative fields, including artists, composers, musicians, producers and engineers from Mix and study.

This year’s nominees were selected from approximately 15,500 entries in 50 categories and reflect a variety of consolidated and new artists who made recordings during the eligibility period – June 1, 2018 to May 31, 2019 -.

The final round of voting to select the Latin Grammy winners will begin on October 3. The Latin Recording Academy will reveal the winners on November 14 at the Latin Grammy Premiere and at the ceremony that the Univision Network will broadcast live that same day from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
