MEDALLAS DE CORTEZ
Awards sponsored by:
The Hispanic Radio Conference is proud to announce the 2021 Medallas de Cortez finalists. While only seven will carry home the prestigious award, all of the following professionals have proven themselves to be the best of the best in Hispanic radio. The awards will be presented at the conference on September 22 at the Intercontinental Hotel in Miami and are sponsored by vCreative.
The Medallas de Cortez awards are named in honor of Raoul Cortez, founder of KCOR, the first Spanish-language radio station in the United States, in 1946. His passion, dedication, and visionary nature are not only the stuff of which dreams are made, but serve to inspire to carry forward those dreams and continue to make Hispanic radio a compelling force in media and the communities it serves.
In addition to honoring the winners in each of these categories, this year’s presentation will be part of a festive ceremony beginning with a musical tribute by BMI recording artist Elston Torres to Emilio Estefan, who will receive the Medallas Distinguished Leadership award. A gala cocktail reception will immediately follow the awards.
Conference registration includes admission to the awards and reception.
