The GRAMMY® FYC Process: A Journey of Artistic Excellence

Updated: Nov 24

Every year, Recording Academy members submit and vote for works that define excellence in music. The term FYC (“For Your Consideration”) simply means we’re respectfully inviting GRAMMY® voters to listen, watch, and consider our submissions within the official voting window.


All FYC promotions must follow the Recording Academy’s rules — no direct solicitation or incentives, just genuine artistry, honesty, and integrity.


Understanding the FYC Process


The FYC process is vital for artists and their teams. It’s a chance to showcase their hard work and creativity. Each submission represents countless hours of dedication and passion. By participating in this process, artists can connect with voters and share their stories.


The Importance of Integrity


Integrity is key in the FYC process. Artists must present their work honestly. This means highlighting the true essence of their music and videos. It’s about authenticity, not just accolades. When we focus on genuine artistry, we foster a culture of respect and appreciation within the music community.
