Lo Nuestro Award for Tropical Female Artist of the Year

The Lo Nuestro Award for Tropical Salsa Female Artist of the Year (or Tropical Female Artist of the Year) is an honor presented annually by American network Univision.

[1] The nominees and winners were originally selected by a voting poll conducted among program directors of Spanish-language radio stations in the United States and also based on chart performance on Billboard Latin music charts, with the results being tabulated and certified by the accounting firm Deloitte.

[1][2] At the present time, the winners are selected by the audience through an online survey.

Puerto-Rican American performer Olga Tañón holds the record for the most awards with 13, out of seventeen nominations.
