The Tejano Music Award for Female Vocalist of The Year is an honor presented annually by the Texas Talent Musicians Association (TTMA). The Tejano Music Awards were first awarded in 1981 and was established to recognize the most talented performers of Tejano music—a subgenre of regional Mexican music.[1] The nominees were originally selected by a voting poll conducted among program directors and disc jockeys of Spanish-language radio stations in Texas.[2] Originally, winners were chosen by Tejano radio station KIWW listeners,[3] and later by fans of Tejano musicians in the Southwest of the United States.[4] Winners are selected through a survey of 50,000 Texas households with Hispanic surnames.[5] By 1987, the award ceremony was broadcast through 32 radio stations and 25 local television channels in Texas, New Mexico, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.[4] The awards ceremony were originally held at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, then to the San Antonio Convention Center until 1994,[6] and the Alamodome until 1999.[7] As of 2015, the ceremony is held annually at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts in San Antonio, Texas.[8]

The award was first presented to American singer Lisa Lopez, who became the first female Tejano singer to have a number one single on the United States Billboard Regional Mexican Airplay chart with "Si Quieres Verme Llorar" (1982).[9] Laura Canales, who popularized grupos in the 1970s,[10] won the award five nonconsecutive times. Canales was considered Tejano music's first leading lady before the genre's 1990s golden age.[11] Selena holds the record for most wins, winning on 11 occasions out of 12 nominations. The singer has been called the "Queen of Tejano music", and is credited in catapulting the genre into the mainstream market.[12][13] Following Selena's death in March 1995, the genre suffered and its popularity waned.[14][15] In 1998, Shelly Lares won for the first time since she was nominated in 1986, she holds the record for most nominations at 28. The following year, Jennifer Peña won the award; the first time the award was won by two different participants since 1982. The current holder of the award is Elida Reyna, who holds the record for most consecutive wins (at nine times).
