The recording industry's most
prestigious award, the GRAMMY, is presented annually by the Recording
Academy. A GRAMMY is awarded by the Recording Academy's voting
membership to honor excellence in the recording arts and sciences. It is
truly a peer honor, awarded by and to artists and technical
professionals for artistic or technical achievement, not sales or chart
positions (GRAMMY Awards Process). The annual GRAMMY Awards presentation
brings together thousands of creative and technical professionals in the
recording industry from all over the world.
In addition to the GRAMMY Awards, other
honors are given by the Recording Academy. These awards recognize
contributions and activities of significance to the recording field that
fall outside the framework of the GRAMMY Awards categories, and include
the Lifetime Achievement Award, the Trustees Award, the GRAMMY Hall of
Fame Award, the Technical GRAMMY Award, and the GRAMMY Legend Award. The
GRAMMY Awards are telecast annually to an international audience of over
2 billion in 180 countries. |
