 Best New Trend Among Artists: Affordable Art: The rules that dictate the value of specific works of art are as clear-cut as the true meaning of Mona Lisa’s dubious smile. That said, we praise the increasing number of local artists that are diversifying the scale of their works, both in terms of size and price, without losing their essential qualities, thus opening the possibility of starting and building an art collection to a broader audience.  Best Huichol Promoter: Jacinto López Ramírez: Jacinto Lopez Ramirez, a Huichol artist and shaman, passed away in 2007, leaving behind a legacy of traditional Huichol art forms. In the late 1960s, he was one of the most significant influences on the commercialization of bead art, currently practiced by many Huichol artists, including his wife, Angelita, and most of his seven children.
 Best Vallarta Art Gallery Outside of Vallarta: Córsica Galería de Arte: Corsica Galeria de Arte can take pride in something no other local gallery can to date. In addition to their two popular locations in downtown Vallarta, they also operate successful galleries by the same name in Los Cabos and Mexico City. Founded in 2001 and dedicated to the promotion of quality contemporary Mexican art.
 Best Local Young Actors: Young, yet experienced, these four Puerto Vallarta residents are part of our city’s Municipal Theater Group, directed by Alberto Fabian. Combined, they have spent decades on stage, garnering awards both in and out of Puerto Vallarta. What are their goals and role models?
 Most Awarded Spanish Writer You Didn’t Even Know Lived in PV: Francisco Haghenbeck: It would seem Puerto Vallarta has been casting its spell on talented citizens who relocate to this wonderful place we call paradise since day one. One of the latest additions to our local pool of inspiring talent is fiction and comics writer Francisco Haghenbeck. Unbeknownst to him (and to us!), his short story “Waiting for Liz,” published in the last issue of this magazine.
 Best New Tribute to Puerto Vallarta: Hymn to Vallarta, Love for One's Roots: In 1967 a young lady named Yolanda Guadalupe wanted to pay tribute to Puerto Vallarta, the town where she was born. At the time, she was far away, attending high school in Mexico City. At just 16 years old, this pensive girl found a unique way of expressing her love for what was then a small town: writing a song. That is the beginning of the story behind the “Hymn to Vallarta.”
