How the 2026 HOLA AWARDS nominations work
Nominations for the 2026 HOLA AWARDS will be open from September 10th to October 10th. We explain the calendar, what happens next, and how Taco Taco connects with this edition.
HOLA AWARDS 2026 is entering one of its most important stages: the nomination period. For one month, the community will be able to nominate individuals, projects, and organizations that are making an impact and leaving a mark in Canada.
The 2026 edition will culminate with the HOLA AWARDS 2026 gala, whose exact date will be announced soon, but before we reach that night, there is a process designed to discover, organize, and present those who will be part of this edition.
When do nominations open?
Nominations will be open from September 10th to October 10th, 2026.
During that period, the official website will enable the nomination form so that the community can submit candidates within the available categories.
What happens when the nomination period ends?
Once the period closes, the review and organization stage for the received nominations begins. The goal is to verify information, sort profiles into their corresponding categories, and prepare the next phase of the 2026 HOLA AWARDS.
As the process progresses, the site will display profiles and news related to this year’s nominees.
Taco Taco is also part of the journey
From October 1st to 10th, Taco Taco will take place, an experience that is part of the HOLA ecosystem and which, in 2026, is also linked to the 2026 HOLA AWARDS nomination period.
Taco Taco functions as its own activation, with an independent identity and dynamic, while simultaneously connecting gastronomy, community, and recognition within this edition of the awards.
When are the 2026 HOLA AWARDS held?
The exact date of the 2026 HOLA AWARDS gala will be announced soon.
It will be the night when the community, nominees, partners, artists, guests, and various stakeholders of the ecosystem gather to celebrate a new edition of the awards.
Why is it important to nominate?
Nominations allow us to discover stories that often do not reach mainstream visibility. Entrepreneurs, creators, artists, leaders, and community projects build an important part of the Latino experience in Canada every day.
HOLA AWARDS seeks to turn that visibility into recognition and create a platform where those stories can reach a wider audience.
