(Cross-posted from the ALMA Awards Blog)

As part of a special segment of this year’s show entitled “I am American,” NCLR will be collecting photos of Affiliates, friends, ALMA followers and other Latinos from throughout the nation who are an important part of the fabric of American culture. During this segment, on the screen will be pictures of diverse Latinos: celebrities, athletes and regular people holding up cards that state “I AM AMERICAN or I was born in____________.” A limited amount of photos will be selected for the show. Submit your photo for a chance to be selected. Please see submission details below. 

This year’s NCLR ALMA Awards telecast will feature a segment entitled “I AM AMERICAN.” The segment will include images of Latinos from across the country holding signs expressing that they are American and stating where in the United States they were born.
