As Grammy Voting Nears, Recording Academy Sends Campaign Rules Reminder: No Sales Figures, Gifts & More
These are the big Do's & Don'ts.
The Recording Academy has reminded voting members of the strict rules surrounding Grammy campaigning as the 69th Grammy Awards season approaches. The email, sent on September 2, outlines the guidelines for For Your Consideration (FYC) communications and aligns with the Academy's Voting Integrity and Vote Solicitation Guidelines.
Key points include:
- FYC communications should not include category numbers, entry IDs, or proprietary information.
- They must contain an opt-out option for voters.
- The use of Recording Academy trademarks, logos, gramophone imagery, or promotional assets is prohibited.
- Communications cannot mention chart positions, streaming figures, sales data, or RIAA awards.
- Gifts, meals, alcohol, or hospitality that imply vote consideration are also forbidden.
The Academy advises that it does not share member contact information with vendors.
