The MTV MIAW Awards (formerly MTV Millennial Awards) is an annual program of Latin American music awards, presented by the cable channel MTV Latin America to honor the best of Latin music and youth culture. Winners receive a statuette of a cat, in reference to cat memes as a symbol of Internet culture. The ceremony has been held in Mexico City since its first edition on July 16, 2013. In 2020 there was no ceremony due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In February 2025, Bruce Gillmer of Paramount International Networks announced a one-year pause for a few selected events scheduled for 2025, including the MTV MIAW Awards, as Paramount seeks "to reimagine and optimize [our] events slate going forward". [1] [2]
