In a packed announcement, Bad Bunny and Danny Ocean emerged as the year’s frontrunners—each scoring six nominations—the most of any artists this year. Hot on their heels are a cadre of prominent Latin music talents, including Anitta, Beéle, Carín León, Emilia, Myke Towers, Netón Vega, and Peso Pluma, each securing five nods.

This year’s ceremony, slated for September 25, 2025, will take place at Panama City’s Figali Convention Center, marking the first time the prestigious event has been held outside the United States. The broadcast will air live on Univision, UniMás, Galavisión, and the ViX streaming platform.

Under the theme “Evolucionando al ritmo de la música”, this edition introduces eight new categories that reflect the evolving interests of young Latin audiences. Among the additions are Best Alternative Mexican Music Song, Afrobeat Latino of the Year, and Podcast of the Year, further broadening the awards’ cultural scope. Fans are encouraged to head to the official website to vote for their favourites before the deadline on September 1.

With its international debut location and expanded categories, the 2025 Premios Juventud promises to be a landmark celebration of Latin music’s most dynamic voices and cultural trends.
