Background

In March 2025, the Latin Recording Academy announced several changes for different categories, including two new ones:

Category changes

• Two new categories were introduced – Best Music for Visual Media (as a part of the new Visual Media field) and Best Roots Song (belonging to the Traditional Music field).
• The following four categories were renamed: Best Pop Vocal Album into Best Contemporary Pop Album; Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album into Best Traditional Pop Album; Best Urban Fusion/Performance into Best Urban/Urban Fusion Performance; Best Latin Children's Album into Best Children's Album.
• For the category Best Urban Fusion/Performance, the required percentage of urban elements increased from 51% to 60% in order to qualify. Additionally, in the case of remixes, these are eligible only if the original version of the song was released within the same eligibility year.
• For the Songwriter of the Year award, the minimum song threshold was reduced from six to four newly written songs.
• The duration of the eligible videos for Best Long Form Music Video must be at least 12 minutes, with the credits not being counted for the total video's length unless they contribute to the creative process.
