== History ==
In 1983, founder, Helen Hernandez met with prolific [[television]] writer and [[Television producer|producer]] [[Norman Lear]].<ref>{{Cite news|url = https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-122258279.html|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160220130627/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-122258279.html|url-status = dead|archive-date = 20 February 2016|title = Fete for Latino Feats|last = de la Fuente|first = Anna Marie|date = 26 August 2004|work = Daily Variety|access-date = 21 January 2016|via = HighBeam Research|subscription = yes}}</ref> "Lear was acutely aware of the near absence of positive portrayals of [[Hispanic and Latino Americans|Latinos]] in the entertainment industry and understood the importance of positive images. The two met with leaders of the [[National Conference for Community and Justice]], a respected non-sectarian human relations organization committed to fighting prejudice and racial tensions".<ref name="Imagen Foundation ~ About">[http://www.imagen.org/about Imagen Foundation ~ About]</ref>
 
The result was the '''Imagen Foundation Awards competition''' (or '''Imagen Awards'''), established in 1985.<ref>{{Cite journal|url = http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=bth&AN=109033075&site=ehost-live|title = Imagen Awards Celebrates 30 Years Honoring Latinos in Media|last = Mark|first = Stephanie R.|date = 17 August 2015|journal = Broadcasting & Cable|doi = |pmid = |access-date = 21 January 2016|subscription url-access=subscription yes|via = EBSCO|volume = 145|issue = 28|page = 18}}</ref>
