Named after the Spanish-language word for an individual key on a keyboard, the Tecla Awards recognizes excellence in Latino blogging, micro-blogging and social media and digital marketing.
The purpose of the Tecla Awards is to showcase the increasingly sophisticated and impressive work that Latino bloggers, micro-bloggers, journalists, brands and agencies are executing in the digital multicultural space.
The first annual Tecla Awards will be held on Monday, March 16, 2015 at Hispanicize 2015 Week in Miami, Florida and will be held annually at Hispanicize, the largest U.S. Hispanic marketing, media and entertainment industries event in the nation. The awards feature 30 categories– 20 focused on Latino bloggers and micro-blogging and 10 devoted to multicultural marketing agencies and brands.
The awards are a co-production of the Hispanicize event and the Latina Mom Bloggers network. The Tecla Awards is being conducted in alliance with iBlog Magazine, the lead blog industry trade media partner, and the Hispanic PR Blog.
