In the interest of improving the GRAMMY awards process and taking better advantage of current technology, the Recording Academy intends to make available all GRAMMY-nominated recordings (including all nominated albums, singles, music videos and other musical tracks, as well as all sound recordings featuring nominated songs) in a streaming media format (no downloads will be permitted) exclusively to our voting membership; solely for purposes of previewing such recordings during the period of our final ballot, typically from mid-December to mid-January. This streaming offering will be made available in a password-protected portion of GRAMMY.com (or another designated Recording Academy controlled website), which only voting members of the Recording Academy will be permitted to access, solely during the aforementioned period.
Your agreement to make available your submitted recording(s) for the above-referenced purpose is voluntary; however, if you do not agree to allow the Recording Academy to make available your submitted recording(s) for such purposes, you acknowledge that voting members may not have the same opportunity to evaluate such content as they may other nominated content.
