MIAMI, FL — September 24, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — The Hispanic Public Relations Association (HPRA) today announced the finalists for the 2026 HPRA ¡BRAVO! Awards, recognizing outstanding campaigns and agencies advancing excellence in Hispanic multicultural communications across the country.

Winners will be announced on Nov. 19, 2026, at the LA River Center and Gardens in Los Angeles, marking HPRA’s return to the city where the organization was founded more than four decades ago.

This year’s theme, “Legacy in Motion,” reflects both that history and the ways it continues to evolve through each generation of communicators. The 2026 program will also honor the people and ideas that helped create greater opportunity and representation in the industry while celebrating the campaigns, agencies, brands, and emerging talent carrying that work forward in new ways.

“Legacy is not something we simply inherit or leave behind. It is something we put into motion through the choices we make, the stories we tell and the opportunities we create for others,” said HPRA National President Sonia V. Diaz. “Forty-two years ago, a group of Latino communications professionals came together in Los Angeles because they understood that representation would not happen on its own. As we return to Los Angeles this year, we are honoring what they started while celebrating a new generation that continues to challenge our industry, expand our stories and move us closer to the representation and parity our community deserves.”

The finalist campaigns similarly demonstrate how the industry continues to evolve, with work spanning 11 categories and addressing audiences across industries, communities and platforms.

Competing categories this year include: Digital or Media Platform PR Program, Film, Music & Entertainment, Healthcare & Nutrition, Influencer Engagement, Integrated Marketing Communications Campaigns, Internal Communications Programs, Lifestyle, New Product/Service Launch, Non-Profit Campaigns, Social Equity, and Sports. Campaign of the Year will be awarded to the highest-scoring submission.
