Let's Create a Best Music Supervision in Visual Media Grammy Award

The Issue

Petition to The Recording Academy to Create a Best Music Supervision in Visual Media Grammy

In today’s music industry, the music supervisor, the person responsible for the selection, arrangement, production and in many cases, promotion of music, for TV, film, games and advertising is a vital, creative and important position in today's music industry.

Music supervisors represent a crucial component in the creation, selection and usage of music in visual media, and excellence in this field should be accorded recognition by the music industry at large.  

Moreover, their work is one of the main ways the mass market finds out about new bands and music - they are today's musical tastemakers, and in a world that's visual and interactive, they are the people who ensure music enhances the visual and interactive experience.

It is the importance or music supervisors and the work they do that compels me to urge The Recording Academy to create a new Grammy award category, "Best Music Supervision in Visual Media."

If you believe that the people responsible for shaping the music soundtrack for the shows, films and games you love as well as the ads that connect you with the products and brands you use every day deserve recognition for their work, then please sign this petition to The Recording Academy to create a "Best Music Supervision in Visual Media" Grammy award.

We have a formal process to recommend changes to our awards process and categories. This petition, while I'm sure well-intentioned, will not be considered as part of that process. If any Academy Member would like to submit a proposal for a new category, he or she should contact me for the form to be filled out and submitted no later than March 1st.
