If they want to make more than five entries, they have to pay.<\/p>\n \n\tThe \u201cearly entry pricing\u201d ship has sailed. From July 16 to Aug. 1, members paid just $40 per entry (after using up their five courtesy entries). Media companies paid $65.<\/p>\n \n\tWe are now nearing the end of the \u201cstandard pricing\u201d time frame. From Aug. 2 to Friday (Aug. 22), members pay $75 (after using up their final courtesy entries), while media companies pay $95.<\/p>\n \n\tAfter Friday, we enter the \u201cfinal deadline pricing\u201d time frame. From Aug. 23-Aug. 29, members pay $125 per entry (after using up their five courtesy entries). In this final time frame, media companies pay the same rate.<\/p>\n \n\tUntil recent years, the Recording Academy allowed members to make unlimited entries without a fee. They cast their decision to charge for each entry beyond five courtesy entries as a move to try to get members to be more thoughtful and selective in the process. \u201cThe per-entry fee structure encourages entrants to consider the value of each entry and make mindful decisions to put forward work that they truly believe is Grammy worthy,\u201d the academy says in the 68th Grammy Awards Rules & Guidelines handbook.<\/p>\n \n\tBut, as in years past, they add: \u201cAny member who would be burdened by the entry fees can request the fees be waived by contacting the awards department.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe 68th Grammy Awards covers recordings released between Aug. 31, 2024 and Aug. 30, 2025. First-round voting runs from Oct. 3 to Oct. 15. This round of voting determines the Grammy nominees, which will be announced on Nov. 7.<\/p>\n \n\tFinal round voting runs from Dec. 12, 2025 \u2013 Jan. 5, 2026. This round of voting determines the winners, which will be announced when the 68th Grammy Awards are presented on Feb. 1, 2026 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. This will be the final Grammy telecast broadcast on CBS, the Grammys\u2019 home since 1973. In October 2024, the Recording Academy announced a new, 10-year global deal<\/a> for the Grammys to be exclusively simulcast on ABC, Hulu and Disney+ beginning in 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Are you a Grammy voter?
