Fifteen singers gathered last evening, in front of four judges, at the Cultural Center on the Isla Cuale to compete for the chance to represent Puerto Vallarta in the upcoming State Youth Finals in Guadalajara. 

The "Voces del Orgullo" awards program will hold its third annual ceremony in Puerto Vallarta, relocating to Jalisco’s premier coastal destination after hosting its previous two editions in Mexico City. Created by media producer Quique Galdeano in partnership with LGBTQ+ media outlet Escándala, the nonprofit program honors grassroots leaders, activists and community advocates who have made substantial contributions to sexual and gender diversity causes across Mexico.
