MTV awards head to Guadalajara

Show will air on MTV Tr3s

MEXICO CITY -- MTV's Latin America awards show "Los Premios MTV" will be held at the Telmex Auditorium in Guadalajara, Mexico, on Oct. 16.

"Guadalajara is one of Latin America's most historic and iconic cities making it a fantastic backdrop for us to celebrate Latin American youth and the music they love," said MTV Latin America prexy Pierluigi Gazzolo. "In 1993, Mexico was the first country to distribute MTV so we are thrilled to be here 15 years later celebrating Premios."

Nominees for the awards are selected by a "Music and Video Academy" comprised of music industry professionals and fans. Winners for most of the categories are chosen by viewers' votes through MTV Latin America's website www.MTVla.com.

Now in its 15th year, the show will air on MTV Tr3s in the U.S. and in 22 other countries.
