Seven award recipients from the United States and Latin America will be recognized during the Revolucionario Awards at The Social Revolución on March 12, 2013 at Ballet Austin.

After over 23,000 online community votes and the evaluation of a panel of judges, seven winners were selected from the 170 nominations received in the following three categories.
