Premios MTV Latinoamérica

The MTV Latin America Awards, originally known as the MTV Video Music Awards Latin America (VMALA), were the Latin American edition of the MTV Video Music Awards. The show debuted on MTV Latin America in 2002 under its original name. In subsequent years, it was rebranded as Los Premios MTV ("The MTV Awards"), though it continued to be referred to internationally as the MTV Latin America Awards.

The awards were created to celebrate the most notable musicians and music videos in Latin America. They were presented annually and broadcast live on MTV Networks Latin America. Winners received a trophy known as the lengua ("tongue"), a stylized tongue-shaped statue. According to the network, the design represented the Spanish-language as the cultural thread that unites Latin America.

From 2002 to 2004, all ceremonies were held in Miami, Florida. The 2005 edition was scheduled to take place in Latin America for the first time, but was ultimately cancelled (see below). The 2006 ceremony, held in Mexico City, became the first to be successfully celebrated in the region. The awards were discontinued in 2010 and later succeeded by the MTV Millennial Awards (MTV MIAW) in 2013.
