The Lo Nuestro Excellence Award ({{langx|es|Premio Lo Nuestro a la Excelencia}}) is an award honoring an artist's contribution to Latin music.{{cite web |title=Premio Lo Nuestro a la Musica Latina 1992 ('Lo Nuestro' Latin Music Awards) |url=https://www.paleycenter.org/collection/item/?q=the&p=433&item=T:76372 |website=The Paley Center for Media |access-date=February 21, 2019 |date=May 14, 1992}} It was first awarded at the 2nd Annual Lo Nuestro Awards in 1990 and has since been presented annually. The Lo Nuestro Awards were established by American television network Univision in 1989 to recognize the most talented performers of Latin music. Before the inception of the Latin Grammy Awards in 2000, the Lo Nuestro Awards were considered to be the Latin music equivalent of the Grammy Awards.{{cite news|url=http://www.imagenzac.mx/2001/01/09/Quepues2.htm |title=Seis nominaciones para Son by Four |language=Spanish |work=Que Pues |publisher=Grupo Editorial Zacatecas, S.

The trophy awarded is shaped in the form of a treble clef.{{cite web|url=http://www.terra.com/musica/noticias/historia_premios_lo_nuestro/oci75000|title=Historia: Premios Lo Nuestro|work=Terra Networks|publisher=Telefónica|access-date=June 10, 2013|date=February 6, 2006|language=Spanish|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131002035645/http://www.terra.com/musica/noticias/historia_premios_lo_nuestro/oci75000|archive-date=October 2, 2013|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}{{cite magazine |last1=Blaya |first1=Joaquín F. |last2=Babcock Jr. |first2=John |title=Celia Cruz: This Year's "Lifetime Achievement Award" receipt |magazine=Billboard |date=May 26, 1992 |volume=102 |issue=21 |page=59}} During the presentation, a tribute is held to the winner which features highlights of their career and several artists performing live covers of the recipient's notable songs.{{cite news |title=Gloria, Emilio Estefan Tribute At Premio Lo Nuestro Featured Leslie Grace, Victor Manuelle, Il Volo |url=https://www.latintimes.com/gloria-emilio-estefan-tribute-premio-lo-nuestro-featured-leslie-grace-victor-manuelle-432517 |access-date=February 26, 2019 |work=Latin Times |publisher=IBT Media |date=February 23, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190226111601/https://www.latintimes.com/gloria-emilio-estefan-tribute-premio-lo-nuestro-featured-leslie-grace-victor-manuelle-432517 |archive-date=February 26, 2019 |url-status=live |df=mdy-all }}

The Excellence Award was first presented to Cuban singer Celia Cruz. Since its inception, the accolade has been mostly given to individuals, though five musical ensembles have also earned the achievement. Artists from Mexico have received the trophy more than any other nationalities with 16. Cuban-American singer Gloria Estefan was honored with the Excellence Award in 1992 while her husband Emilio Estefan was bestowed with the accolade two years later. They were both presented with the award again in 2018.{{cite web |title=Homenaje a Gloria y Emilio Estefan, el regreso de Wisin y Yandel y más sorpresas en la edición número 30 de Premio Lo Nuestro |url=https://www.univision.com/especiales/premio-lo-nuestro/leslie-grace-victor-manuelle-luis-enrique-y-mas-confirmados-a-la-edicion-numero-30-de-premio-lo-nuestro |website=Univision |access-date=February 26, 2019 |language=spanish |date=February 15, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190226111237/https://www.univision.com/especiales/premio-lo-nuestro/leslie-grace-victor-manuelle-luis-enrique-y-mas-confirmados-a-la-edicion-numero-30-de-premio-lo-nuestro |archive-date=February 26, 2019 |url-status=live |df=mdy-all }} Mexican singer Antonio Aguilar was given the accolade in 2000 and his son Pepe Aguilar earned it in 2012.{{cite news |title=Premio a la Excelencia a Antonio Aguilar por 50 años de carrera |url=http://archivo.eluniversal.com.mx/espectaculos/5925.html |access-date=February 28, 2019 |work=El Universal |date=May 7, 2000 |language=es |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190228115751/http://archivo.eluniversal.com.mx/espectaculos/5925.html |archive-date=February 28, 2019 |url-status=live |df=mdy-all }}{{cite web |title=Pepe Aguilar en Premio Lo Nuestro |url=https://www.univision.com/especiales/premio-lo-nuestro-2015/pepe-aguilar-saco-lo-mexicano-en-el-escenario-de-premio-lo-nuestro-2012 |website=Univision |access-date=February 9, 2019 |language=Spanish |date=February 16, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190226172701/https://www.univision.com/especiales/premio-lo-nuestro-2015/pepe-aguilar-saco-lo-mexicano-en-el-escenario-de-premio-lo-nuestro-2012 |archive-date=February 26, 2019 |url-status=live |df=mdy-all }} Juan Luis Guerra was honored with the trophy in 2007 and was later recognized as Person of the Year by the Latin Recording Academy in the same year.{{cite news |title=Juan Luis Guerra declarado "Cantautor de la Patria" |url=https://www.emol.com/noticias/magazine/2007/11/14/281877/juan-luis-guerra-declarado-cantautor-de-la-patria.html |access-date=February 26, 2019 |work=Emol |date=November 14, 2007 |language=Spanish |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190226035530/https://www.emol.com/noticias/magazine/2007/11/14/281877/juan-luis-guerra-declarado-cantautor-de-la-patria.html |archive-date=February 26, 2019 |url-status=live |df=mdy-all }}
