The Imagen (Spanish for "image"; pronounced ee-mah-hen) Awards program was established in 1985 from a suggestion by veteran television producer Norman Lear to encourage and recognize the positive portrayals of Latinos in the media. Later, as The Imagen Foundation, it expanded its programs and initiatives to further its mission to serve as a bridge between the Latino community and the entertainment industry in providing access, education, and resources for Latinos in the industry, as well as those seeking careers in entertainment.
"Nick News", the longest-running kids' news show in television history, won the "Best Children's Programming" award at the Imagen Awards 2015.
Additionally, Nickelodeon Star Lilimar Hernandez won the "Best Young Actress - Television" award at the 2015 Imagen Awards for her portrayal of 'Sophie Delarosa' on Nickelodeon's hit live-action series "Bella and the Bulldogs".
The 30th Annual Imagen Awards were presented at a special ceremony on Friday 21st August 2015, at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion at the Music Center in Los Angeles, California.
