The Lo Nuestro Award for Urban Album of the Year is an honor presented annually by American television network Univision at the Lo Nuestro Awards. The accolade was established to recognize the most talented performers in Latin music.[1] Originally, nominees and winners were selected through a voting poll conducted among program directors of Spanish-language radio stations in the United States, as well as based on chart performance on Billboard Latin music charts, with the results being tabulated and certified by the accounting firm Deloitte.[1][2] However, since 2004, winners have been selected through an online survey.[3] The trophy awarded is shaped in the form of a treble clef.[1]
