The Billboard Latin Music Lifetime Achievement Award is an honor that is presented by the music magazine Billboard to an artist or a group with "an enduring and exceptional career, encompassing artistic and personal contributions that have had a major impact on Latin music worldwide". The recipient is decided by the Billboard editorial committee. The Latin Music Lifetime Achievement Award was first given to Morton Gould, the president of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), during the fourth annual Billboard Latin Music Conference in 1993. Since 1994, the Lifetime Achievement Award has been presented during the Billboard Latin Music Awards. The accolade is usually awarded to a recording artist, but may be presented to industry figures who have helped raise the awareness of Spanish-language music globally, including Emilio Estefan (pictured), Ralph Mercado, and Jorge Pinos.
