History and Purpose Throughout the country, including Northwest Ohio, September 15 through October 15 is recognized as National Hispanic Heritage Month. To celebrate the profound and lasting influence that Latinos have on American history, values and culture, the Diamante (diamond in Spanish) Awards were founded in 1989 by IMAGE of Northwest Ohio, a local Latino advocacy group. This year’s awards and scholarship event will take place on Thursday, October 15, 2026 at The University of Toledo Student Union Auditorium. The awards recognize individuals and organizations for their outstanding achievements and service to Latinos. Our LIDERAMOS Toledo graduates took part in an intensive, Latino focused leadership program. The Diamante Awards also serve to raise scholarship funds for Latino youth who want to advance their education by attending a college or university in the region.
