However in 2012 the descendants of Casandra Damirón decided to withdraw the authorization to use Casandra's name from the awards name arguing that for the previous two years the ceremony departed from the rules which "have governed the award in terms of its content and ''raison d'être''", and therefore it is currently known as the Soberano Awards.

It was dismantled in early 2017 during the remodeling of the consulate. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
