The 2025 GRAMMYs telecast will be reimagined to raise funds to support wildfire relief efforts and aid music professionals impacted by the wildfires in Los Angeles. Donate to the Recording Academy’s and MusiCares’ Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort To Support Music Professionals.
Final Round Voting for the 2025 GRAMMYs is officially open. Starting today (Thursday, Dec. 12) through Friday, Jan. 3, 2025, Recording Academy Voting Members will begin casting their GRAMMY votes to determine the GRAMMY winners across all 94 Categories to be awarded at the 2025 GRAMMYs, which take place Sunday, Feb. 2, live at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
As Final Round Voting kicks off, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr. is reminding Voting Members of the importance of GRAMMY voting. In a heartfelt message sent to Recording Academy Voting Members this week, which you can read in full below, Mason jr. amplifies the crucial role of GRAMMY voting and the direct impact that Voting Members have on the future of music and the lives of the people who make it.
“Music creators and fans everywhere look to you and your peers to determine the best in music this year,” Mason jr. wrote to Voting Members. “As Recording Academy Voting Members, you have the unique power to exercise your expertise in music to shape the sounds of the next generation. Your votes will not only impact the music that we listen to for years to come, but also the lives of the people who make it … Your votes and voices truly make a difference.”
Mason jr.’s letter underlines the real-life impact of the GRAMMY Award. As the only peer-voted award in music, the GRAMMY Award is the highest honor in all of music. Each year, the lives and careers of hundreds of artists are transformed when they become GRAMMY winners and GRAMMY nominees. They immediately experience immeasurable positive career developments: significant increases in album sales and streaming numbers, headline arena tours, major brand deals, and beyond. This is known as the “GRAMMY Effect,” an industry phenomenon in which a GRAMMY accolade directly influences the music biz and the wider popular culture. The “GRAMMY Effect” is sure to make waves at the 2025 GRAMMYs, fueled by the votes of Recording Academy Voting Members.
The upcoming 2025 GRAMMYs, officially known as the 67th GRAMMY Awards, will recognize the best in music, and Final Round Voting is the final phase of the GRAMMY voting season during which all GRAMMY winners will be determined.
