Brazil Explore Awards

2

The Brazil Explore Awards was created having

in mind a natural progression from the Brazil-

ian Trade and Music Festival, by presenting

and valuing what is best about the Brazilian

community in Los Angeles.

The Brazil Explore magazine was launched

in May 2001 with the objective of represent-

ing Brazil to our fellow American friends and

highlighting the talent of Brazilians who live in

the United States. In this way, Brazil Explore

wants to make a tradition of honoring the

Brazilian community and professionals who

elevate the name of our country overseas,

through the Brazil Explore Awards.

The event will take place on November 2009

in a local theater in Los Angeles, CA with a

cocktail reception followed by a party, pre-

sented to recognize the talent of profession-

als and personalities of the Brazilian commu-

nity in various categories. Voting will be done

online and our readers will decide who should

be honored.

The Brazil Explore Awards intuit is to honor

the people and business that are nominated,

but also to help create more opportunities for

the community at large, since the event will

bring exposure with the American and Latino

media.
