MTV MIAW Awards
The MTV MIAW Awards is an annual Latin American award show presented by the Latin American MTV to honor the best of youth internet pop culture and Latin music. Winners receive a cat-shaped statuette, referencing cat memes as a symbol of internet culture.
The ceremony has been held in Mexico City since its inaugural edition on July 16, 2013. The 2020 edition was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In February 2025, Bruce Gillmer, of Paramount International Networks, announced a one-year pause for several events scheduled for 2025, including the MTV MIAW Awards, as Paramount seeks "to reimagine and optimize events slate going forward".
