The Grammy Awards

The process begins with members and record companies submitting entries, which are then screened for eligibility and
category placement. The Academy's voting members, all involved in the creative and technical processes of recording,
then participate in (1) the nominating process that determines the five finalists in each category; and (2) the final voting
process which determines the GRAMMY winners.
Submission
Recording Academy members and record companies enter recordings and music videos released during the eligibility
year which they consider worthy of recognition in the GRAMMY Awards process.
Screening
Reviewing sessions by more than 150 experts in various fields are held to ensure that entered recordings meet specific
qualifications and have been placed in appropriate fields such as Rock, R&B, Jazz, Country, Gospel, New Age, Rap,
Classical and Latin, among others. The purpose of screenings is not to make artistic or technical judgments about the
recordings, but rather to make sure that each entry is eligible and placed in its proper category.
Nominating
First-round ballots are sent to voting members in good dues standing. To help ensure the quality of the voting, members
are directed to vote only in their areas of expertise; they may vote in up to 20 categories in the genre fields plus the four
categories of the General Field (Record Of The Year, Album Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best New Artist.) Ballots
are tabulated by the independent accounting firm of Deloitte.
Special Nominating Committees
In craft and other specialized categories, final nominations are determined by national nomination review committees
comprised of voting members from all of The Academy's Chapter cities.
Final Voting
Final-round ballots are sent to voting members in good dues standing. The finalists determined by the special
nominating committees are also included in this ballot. In this final round, Recording Academy members may vote in
up to 20 categories in the genre fields plus the four categories of the General Field (Record Of The Year, Album Of The
Year, Song Of The Year and Best New Artist.) Ballots again are tabulated by the independent accounting firm of Deloitte.
Results
Results of members' voting are not known until the GRAMMY Awards presentation ceremony when names of the
winners are delivered by Deloitte in sealed envelopes. GRAMMY Award winners are revealed during the GRAMMY
Awards telecast.
Technical GRAMMY Awards
This Special Merit Award is presented by vote of The Recording Academy's
National Trustees to individuals and/or companies who have made
contributions of outstanding technical significance to the recording field.
