The Hispanic Information and Telecommunications Network's (HITN) Tú Cuentas Cine Youth Fest (TCCYF) has garnered four wins at the 32nd Annual Communicator Awards, as announced by the Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts. The awards highlight the growing cultural impact of the organization's programming, which aims to elevate Latino voices in media and entertainment.
Among the recognized productions is the interview series 2025 Tú Cuentas Cafecito con Ingrid 'Superstar' Salcedo, which received an Award of Excellence in the General-Interview or Talk Show category and an Award of Distinction in the General-Motivational category. Another production, 2025 Tú Cuentas Cafecito con Roselyn Sanchez, earned an Award of Distinction in the General-Interview or Talk Show category, while The Power of Voice: The Art of Dubbing for Film and TV received an Award of Excellence in the General-Motivational category.
The Communicator Awards, now in their 32nd year, are among the largest programs honoring achievement in marketing, communications, and creative media. This year's competition drew more than 3,000 entries from agencies, production companies, universities, and global brands. Winners were selected by a jury of over 1,100 industry professionals from organizations including Netflix, National Geographic Society, FedEx, and JPMorgan Chase & Co.
In a congratulatory letter to Cynthia Rivera, TCCYF co-director, Josh Campbell, general manager of the Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts, praised the work produced by the HITN initiative: "Your work cut through the noise, connected with audiences and delivered real results. That is what Well Said work looks like, and we are honored to recognize it!"
The recognition adds momentum for Tú Cuentas Cine Youth Fest, which has sought to provide emerging Latino filmmakers and storytellers with greater visibility through screenings, workshops, and original digital content. The initiative aligns with HITN's mission to educate and entertain, particularly at a time when representation in mainstream entertainment remains a central issue across the industry. Organizers of the festival said the recognition reflects both the quality of the productions and the importance of creating spaces where Hispanic youth can develop and share their stories with broader audiences.
HITN, the leading Spanish-language media company, reaches more than 35 million homes in the United States and Puerto Rico through major distributors. The Tú Cuentas initiative has increasingly focused on creating a platform for young Hispanic creatives, and the Communicator Awards underscore the cultural relevance and excellence of its content.
