Oct 16, 2017 - 2:45 pm

Today, Oct. 16, marked the kick-off of Recording Academy member first-round voting for the 60th GRAMMY Awards.

Following the closing of first-round voting on Oct. 29, nominations for the 60th GRAMMY Awards will be announced on Nov. 28.

Subsequently, the final-round ballot period will kick off on Dec. 7, closing on Dec. 21. Recipients will then be announced at the 60th GRAMMY Awards, taking place Jan. 28, 2018, at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The eligibility period for the 60th GRAMMY Awards was Oct. 1, 2016, through Sept. 30, 2017. For this year's awards process, the Recording Academy received 22,030 submission entries for GRAMMY consideration, up slightly from last year's entry total of 21,719 submissions.

Earlier this year, the Academy announced a transition to online voting, a move that provides the Recording Academy's more than 13,000 voting members greater access and flexibility than ever before.

Recording Academy President/CEO takes a moment to reflect on 60 years of music excellence and look forward to a bright future for the organization's pillars

Jan 28, 2018 - 7:46 pm

The 60th GRAMMY Awards proved to be a show for the ages. The show not only featured a variety of colorful performances, it took place in the backdrop of the Big Apple, marking a return to New York for the first time in 15 years. The monumental evening represented a full-circle moment of sorts for Recording Academy President/CEO Neil Portnow, who championed themes of celebration and excellence during his telecast remarks.

Watch Neil Portnow's 60th GRAMMY Speech

"How do you top the milestone of a 60th anniversary?  Well, you celebrate it in New York City," said Portnow. "It was a big night for me 15 years ago, right here on this stage, as I began my first year as President of the Recording Academy."

Delving back to the organization's beginning, Portnow raised a toast to the thousands of recipients who have earned a GRAMMY Award.

"So what do 60 years of excellence look like? We have awarded more than 9,600 GRAMMYs, music's highest accolade, and we are the most-watched music event in the world," said Portnow.

The Recording Academy's work year-round extends into health and human services. Through its affiliated charity, MusiCares, the Academy helps musicians who are in dire need of financial, medical and emergency assistance. MusiCares is also there in the face of terrible tragedy in providing relief to victims of natural disasters.

"Our MusiCares charity has provided nearly $58 million dollars in aid and served more than 125,000 people in our community," said Portnow. "And this includes saving lives with addiction recovery and sober living help.

"We're in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, and now California helping music people recover from devastating hurricanes and fires. And as a nation, we must help all of our brothers and sisters until they are back on their feet."

From midterm elections to music licensing and funding for the arts, there are many advocacy storylines music creators should keep their eye on in 2018. The Recording Academy keeps a constant pulse on any new policy developments affecting the livelihood of music creators, a point Portnow underscored.

"The Academy's work on Capitol Hill improves the lives of music creators, and thousands participate in all 50 states in the largest grassroots movement for music in history," he said. "The time is right, and we are working closely with Congress to pass comprehensive music licensing reform, which began with a GRAMMY-timed congressional hearing where I had the privilege to testify, right here in New York, just two days ago."

More than just a museum with amazing exhibits, the GRAMMY Museum raises the flag for music education. Millions have gone through the Museum's collective turnstiles and received a taste of the rich programming offered 365 days a year. Portnow took a moment to reference the incredible work the Museum undertakes to ensure music remains a vital part of our nation's education system.

"The GRAMMY Museum has welcomed more than 5 million visitors to our locations in Los Angeles, Mississippi, Nashville, and New Jersey, and traveling exhibits in 29 cities and 8 countries," said Portnow. "And we've provided over $10 million for our music education programs and opportunities for students.

"The recently launched GRAMMY Music Education Coalition is dedicated to building universal music participation in schools nationwide. Just imagine every student in America having access to music programs; with your help and support, we can make that dream a reality."

Before signing off, Portnow punctuated his remarks with a reminder that music — now, more so than ever — has the power to serve as a uniting force.

"Our music community stands strong and committed to providing hope and inspiration in difficult and divisive times. You can count on our music to soothe our souls, or issue a clarion call to action, as our voices will remain an indelible part of our culture and future."

Rebecca Pollack's paper on the DMCA and runner-up Megan Abner's on the FCC win the 20th annual ELI writing competition and scholarship

GRAMMYs
Jan 18, 2018 - 12:37 pm

On Jan. 18, the Recording Academy announced the winners of the 20th annual Entertainment Law Initiative writing competition.

Entertainment Law Initiative Luncheon Highlights

Rebecca Pollack of Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, Ore., wrote the winning paper for this year's competition, titled "Innovation Or Exploitation: Is It Time To Update The DMCA Safe Harbors?" Digital Millennium Copyright Act safe harbors were meant to protect passive internet hosts but fail to address repetitive uploading of infringing material to online platforms. Pollack receives the scholarship's top award of $10,000.

The runner-up is Megan Abner from Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University in New York City. Her paper was on "Effects Of The FCC's 'Internet Freedom' On The Music Industry And Potential Collaborative Solutions." She will receive a $2,500 scholarship.

The GRAMMY Week event will be held on Jan. 26 at Worldwide Plaza in New York and is the nation's preeminent gathering for entertainment attorneys. It provides a forum to explore important legal issues, honor outstanding practitioners and support the next generation of arts lawyers through the ELI writing and scholarship competition.

Both Abner and Pollack will attend GRAMMY Week's Entertainment Law Initiative event, which will include a keynote from New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and service award presentations to attorneys Allen Grubman and Michael Reinert. The former will receive a Recording Academy President's Merit Award from Academy President/CEO Neil Portnow in recognition of his many years of work protecting the interest of music creators. A small number of tickets remain available for the luncheon.

The ELI writing competition is co-sponsored by the American Bar Association Forum on the Entertainment and Sports Industries.
