Initially, the award was given to the Latino artist with the most viewer votes on the MTV Tr3s' official website. The winner, however, did not receive the award at the main ceremony and in later years was announced during the Spanish-language rebroadcast of the award ceremony on tr3́s.
From 2014 to 2017, the award was not given, only to be reintegrated into the award ceremony in 2018 under the name Best Latin, being assigned to music videos and performing artists.[1]
J Balvin and Anitta are this award's biggest winners, having won three times each. Balvin is tied with Bad Bunny as the category's most prominent nominees, with eight nominations each.
