Billboard Unveils Top Categories with Highest Submissions for the 2024 Grammy Awards

Billboard magazine has provided insights into the Grammy Awards 2024 submission process, highlighting categories with varying levels of submissions for possible nominations.

On October 11, 2023, the Recording Academy opened the second round of voting for nominations, and Billboard has reported on the distribution of submissions across the different Grammy categories.

This year, some categories have experienced a decrease in the number of submissions. One contributing factor mentioned by Billboard is the introduction of an entry fee beyond the initial five “courtesy entries” for submissions.

These developments add to the anticipation and excitement surrounding the upcoming Grammy Awards as the music industry eagerly awaits the announcement of the final list of nominees.

The rule, which, according to Billboard, was stated in the 66th Grammy Awards rules and guidelines booklet, stated, “The 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. All professional and voting members of the Recording Academy will receive five courtesy entries every year. Any member who would feel burdened by the entry fees can request the fees be waived by reaching out to the awards department.”
