Fans Vote On-line via Terra.com To Select Winners Of The Premios Fox Sports Awards.

Terra.com announced that it has joined forces with Fox Pan American Sports, parent of Spanish-language television networks Fox Sports en Español and Fox Sports Latin America, in support of Premios Fox Sports, a newly created awards show recognizing the achievements of top U.S. Hispanic and Latin American athletes. The Premios Fox Sports award show will be held on December 17, 2003 at the Radisson Miami Hotel. Fans will have an opportunity to honor their favorite U.S. Hispanic and Latin American sports figures, and participate in the new awards presentation by voting for the nominees on-line at the recently launched Premios Fox Sports mini-site, located on Terra.com at FSE.Terra.com/premios.

With their votes, sports fans will be acknowledging the increasing prominence and importance of U.S. Hispanic and Latin American athletes within the sporting world. In addition to having access to Fox Sports en Español’s exclusive, cutting-edge content, one lucky fan and a companion will win a trip for two to Miami to attend Premios Fox Sports as a VIP guest. Sports fans may cast their votes once per day through September 30.

“Ultimately, it’s the fans who choose the star athletes from the rest,” said Mark Lopez, director, business development and e-commerce at Terra.com. “By empowering the fans, Terra.com and Fox Sports en Español recognize how much the fans mean in the world of sports.” Through its alliance with Fox Pan American Sports, Terra.com is creating a unique relationship with the user, and brings the fan closer to the realm of professional sports, beyond print and television media.

“We see Premios Fox Sports as another extension of our efforts to acknowledge the tremendous achievements of U.S. Hispanics and Latin Americans in sports and the great moments those achievements have brought to millions of fans,” said David Sternberg, General Manager of Fox Sports en Español. “We anticipate a positive response to the mini-site and feel that this interactive element of Premios Fox Sports will generate tremendous fan interest in the awards show.”

The new Premios Fox Sports mini-site will also provide fans with a wealth of biographies, statistical details, and photo galleries that capture the most exciting feats of U.S. Hispanic and Latin American athletes.
