Recording Academy Issues Call for Member ‘Why I Vote’ Video Submissions

The Recording Academy has issued a call for members to submit videos in which they answer such questions about why they vote for the Grammy Awards.

The Recording Academy has issued an emailed call to action for its voting members on Monday (Aug. 5) to submit smartphone videos in which they answer such questions including, “Why do you take the time to vote in the Grammy Awards each year?” The academy will then combine excerpts from the submitted clips to create “at least two short compilation videos.” In addition, individual member videos will be shared throughout September across the Academy’s social platforms. Members have until Thursday, Aug. 15 at midnight PT to submit their videos, though the academy says their form will close after 50 submissions are received. Submitted member videos will be part of the academy’s voter engagement campaign, launching in early September across the organization’s digital channels.
