"The Billboard Latin Music Awards provide a unique opportunity for celebrities, fans and sponsor brands to co-create while driving mutual innovation," said Borja Perez, Senior Vice President, Digital and Social Media, Hispanic Enterprises and Content, NBCUniversal "providing the most exclusive content experiences via all preferred social platforms."

TELEMUNDO's Billboard Latin Music Awards is action-packed full of social moments and this year is no exception with the all-new Instagram Gravity Room, which will create the optical illusion that the talent is defying gravity. Talent will also be featured in the brand new Twitter GIF mirrors, which will create autographed & shareable GIFs. Telemundo will also bring the SocialTV Video Wall to the red carpet and main show to curate real time GIFs & video content from the official, talents' and fans' social accounts. The network will also invite three fashion influencers, Jackie Hernandez (@MakeupByJH), Laura Sanchez (@Laura_Makeup) and Marcia Jones (@jonesmarcia) to co-create content on the white carpet.

Backstage audiences will be able to have a front-row seat with virtual reality cameras that will augment and amplify the experience available via Telemundo.com. Additionally, users will be able to access Telemundo.com for a multi-camera backstage digital livestream experience with over six different cameras strategically placed across the venue. Snapchat users will be able to partake in the action via a Snapchat Billboards story curating all snaps from the red carpet and beyond. Social media personality Perez Hilton will host a Twitter watch party via @PerezHilton featuring commentary regarding the white carpet and awards show directly from the popular entertainment blogger. Additionally, Telemundo will be incorporating new social media platforms Periscope and Meerkat, to provide fans with unprecedented livestream access backstage.
