Selecciones celebrates 35 Years.

Selecciones celebrates a major milestone this year — 35 years since the debut of its first U.S. edition. Since its launch in 1971, the magazine has been a leading voice in world news, topical health issues, parenting advice, and celebrity exclusives,specifically targeting U.S. Hispanic families.

Selecciones will commemorate its 35th anniversary during Hispanic Heritage Month by introducing an annual signature franchise issue and event, “Generation Latino: Hispanic Teens Who Are Changing the World.” The pages of the magazine will come to life at a special awards luncheon and media event in Miami on October 4 honoring seven extraordinary Hispanic teens for their talents, accomplishments and unsurpassed contributions to their communities. Seven of today’s most prominent newsmakers — TV personalities, musicians, athletes, and political leaders — will also be on-hand to present each teen with an award and will deliver their own personal stories of obstacles, successes and achievements.
