Now accepting nominations for awardees

Nominations are now open! Join us in celebrating the contributions and achievements of Filipinos who help make the Filipino American community a place for beauty, passion and dedication.

The Beautiful Life Celebration is an awarding event in honor of our Kababayans who have displayed unparalleled outlook in life.  It is held annually to commemorate honorable individuals and organizations that make up the beautiful Fil-Am community. 

It also promotes cultural heritage and a love for “Pinay Beauty” by recognizing the beautiful Filipinas of all ages, hence the announcement of the 2019 10 Most Beautiful Fil-Ams (for Filipinas ages 16-26) and The Queen of Queens (ages 30 and above). 

“Every Juan” (and Juanita) deserves to be celebrated. You may nominate individuals, businesses, and couples whose achievements and contributions in the community are worth recognizing. It could be a friend, colleague, client, employee or employer who deserves to be celebrated! Consider nominating individuals or organizations whose accomplishments have yet to be publicly acknowledged. We have recognized hundreds of individuals who have excelled in their field, whether professionally, personally or both. 

Recognitions include (but are not limited to) the following: “Most Distinguished Entrepreneurs,” “Most Distinguished Man/Woman in the field of (insert industry here),” “Most Distinguished Couples,” “Man of the Year,” “Woman of the Year,” and “Mother of the Year.”

We are not a pageant but we celebrate those individuals like queens. 

Pageants empower and represent the beauty of a Filipina. The Beautiful Life Celebration Awards Gala celebrates beauty in ALL forms and ages. Every Filipina can be nominated for being one of the 10 Most Beautiful Fil-Ams, which is open for women ages 16-26; and of course the grand coronation of Queen of Queens, wherein each woman (ages 30 and above) will be crowned as Queen-International, Queen-Asia, Queen-Globe, Queen- World and Queen-Universe. Nominate now! 

Now in its 31st year, the event has awarded celebrities namely Melanie Marquez, Aga Mulach, Dawn Zulueta, Gretchen Baretto, Lorna Tolentino, Sheryll Cruz, Christopher de Leon, Hilda Koronel, Janine Tugonon, and Matt Ranillo III, among others. Filipino-owned businesses such as Rustans have supported this event, as well as fashion designers, namely Louie Mamenggo, Randy Ortiz, Renee Salud and Fanny Serrano. 

This year, the stage is ready for Mayor Isko Moreno and Mayor Richard Gomez to receive their awards as “Men of Distinction in the field of Public Service.” Also, the organization has invited “Star for all Seasons,” Vilma Santos-Recto to receive a “Lifetime of Achievement” award.

All awardees will be honored at a Red and Black Awards Gala on Saturday, November 23 at the Quiet Cannon in Montebello, California.
