I'm not very happy that this being my first post in the #vibes community is a writing rather than a recorded performance of music. But I can't blame myself for being scopophobia or better say camera-shy.
I was told about the vibes community by a friend, @captainman who I'm sure will participate in the vibes contest as he told me. He tried his best to put me through participating in the contest but I'm still contemplating. But yesterday, after we met in school, he told me about the update, “Room for Writers in Vibes Community”, then I decided to go for it.
In this writing, I'll be talking about the Grammy Award. Have you heard of the Grammy Awards? How much do you know about it?
The 67th Grammy Award event took place on Sunday, 2nd February 2025. Today is a week.
What about the Grammy Award?
The Grammy Awards which is stylized and often referred to as Grammys are awards presented by the Recording Academy of the United States to recognize outstanding achievements in the music industry and it's often done annually.
It's regarded as the biggest music award in the music industry worldwide. The original idea of this award was to name it the Gramophone Award and thus its name “Grammy” as well as the trophy which depicts a gilded gramophone.
The first Grammy Awards was held on May 4, 1959, this year making it 65 years of awarding outstanding music achievements.
Grammy and Music
There are other annual American entertainment awards like the Academy Awards( for films), Emmy Awards (for television) and Tony Awards ( for theater) but for Grammy Awards, music**. The above are the four major annual American entertainment awards.
CATEGORIES
Grammy Awards don't only go to one individual unless the person comes beat in all the categories. Grammy Awards is given to winners in different categories here are the general categories that can be broken down:
:: Record of the Year
:: Album of the Year
:: Song of the Year
:: Best New Artist
:: Best Producer of the Year, Non-classical
:: Song Writer of the Year, Non-classical.
Christopher Cross in 1981 and Bellie Eillish in 2020 won all four awards at once. At 18, Eillish is the youngest artist to have won all four Grammys.
Special awards are given for long-lasting contributions to the music industry as well as awards for outstanding performance and production in specific genres of music, video and artwork.
The number of categories to be awarded the Grammys is never fixed as adjustments are made some years. In the just concluded Grammy Awards held last week Sunday at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California, 94 categories were awarded.
Kendrick Lamar, one of my favorite artists won the most awards(5) and Beyoncé, the highest number of nominations.
Entry Process and selection of nominees
Just like the Vibes Web3 Music Contest on Hive, one has to record a musical performance and submit it, then the judges select followed by a voting process to determine the winners. Almost or same is done for the Grammy Awards.
For Grammy, media companies and individuals nominate recordings for consideration.
Entries are made and submitted online, and each entry must be in its appropriate category. Review sessions are held on each submitted work by over 150 recording industry experts. Eligible entry lists are then circulated for voting.
Just like Vibes Web3 Music Contest on Hive, every entry is awarded with votes even if you're not among the winners of the week. In Grammy, the certificate is awarded to those ineligible for the Grammy Award but did contribute to a winning recording and the certificate is called a Participation Certificates.
Leading Winners:
Beyoncé with 35 Grammy Awards is the artist with the most Grammar wins.
U2( 22 Grammy Awards) holds the record for most awards won by a group.

Music is life and just like other entertainment industries, music is the most outstanding for me. What is life without music? I pray that someday, one of us in the Vibes community will grow to compete in the Grammys.
