THE GRAMMYS


The Gramophone or Grammy awards are presented by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) of the United States. This phenomenal award is presented to an artist in their category to acknowledge an outstanding achievement. This is an annual awards ceremony and a privilege to attend.
Almost anybody can submit a nomination. That includes record companies and individuals. These nominations could be made online and a physical copy of work is sent to the NARAS. There are over one hundred and fifty experts from the recording industry that hold intense reviewing sessions. A result list is run by each member of the NARAS. Each member is allowed to vote or nominate an artist in any general category. (Album of the year, Song of the year, Record of the year and best new artist)Not more than nine out of thirty time in other categories in other categories on their ballots. The top five in each category will become the nominees. In the event of a tie there will be more than five nominees.
The votes are not determined by performance on the charts, influence sales regional preferences, company loyalty or personal relationships.
