These changes to the Awards Process, from the music creators and professionals that make up its membership body, are part of The Latin Academy’s commitment to evolve with the ever-changing musical landscape, and to best serve its approximately 7,000 members from 62 countries around the world. **All updates go into effect immediately for the upcoming 27th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards.**

“As our Academy continues to evolve, our focus remains firmly on our membership and the integrity of our Awards Process,” said Manuel Abud, CEO of The Latin Recording Academy. “These updates are driven by our members, whose participation each year ensures the Latin GRAMMY Awards continue to stand as a benchmark for excellence in Latin music.” 

**CATEGORY CHANGE**

* Best Portuguese Language Urban Performance category will evolve to an album category as Best Portuguese Language Urban Album (Portuguese Language Field).

**CATEGORY NAME CHANGES**

* Best Latin Electronic Music Performance category will evolve to Best Electronic Music Performance (Electronic Field)

* Best Urban/Urban Fusion Performance category will evolve to Best Urban Performance (Urban Field)

* Best Classical Contemporary Composition category will evolve to Best Classical Composition (Classical Field)

**AMENDMENTS TO ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR SEVERAL CATEGORIES**

Eligibility requirements for Producer of the Year category:

* A minimum of five (5) total producer credits, achieved through any combination of album credits, single/track credits or co-production percentage credits. Alternatively, a producer credit on 100% of at least five (5) singles or tracks.

* Co-production rule: credits are divided evenly among all producers. Example: four (4) producers = 0.25 credits each per track.

Eligibility requirements for Best New Artist category:

* An artist is not eligible for consideration if they have released more than three (3) albums, or 25 singles, or a combination of albums and singles that surpasses these limits. Singles that are subsequently included as tracks on an album shall not be counted towards the single total.

Eligibility requirements for Best Instrumental Album category:

* Vocals can be used in up to 40% of the total playing time, while requiring that at least 60% of the work remain instrumental. If vocals are present, 60% of the vocal content must be performed in one of The Latin Academy’s accepted languages.

Eligibility requirements for Singer-Songwriter categories:

* A singer-songwriter may compose and perform some songs with a colleague, provided the required participation percentages are met.

* For a singer-songwriter album to be eligible, the artist(s) must both write and perform together on at least 75% of the album. 

* In cases where two singer-songwriters collaborate, eligibility applies only when both artists jointly write and perform the same material; artists who perform together but do not write together are not eligible. “Live” albums may be eligible if they contain at least 51% new material. 

* The statuette is presented only to eligible singer-songwriter artists, with eligibility strictly requiring both songwriting and performance contributions, ensuring consistent interpretation.

Eligibility requirements for Best Contemporary Tropical Album category:

* Category now includes and accepts recordings influenced by or belonging to Kompa Haitiano.

**USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE**

The Latin GRAMMY Awards® recognize creative excellence. Only human creators are eligible to be submitted for consideration for, nominated for, or win a Latin GRAMMY®. A work that contains no human authorship is not eligible in any category. A work that features elements of A.I. material (i.e. material generated by the use of artificial intelligence technology) is eligible in applicable categories, however: (1) the human authorship component of the work submitted must be meaningful and more than de minimis; (2) such human authorship component must be relevant to the category in which such work is entered (e.g. if the work is submitted in a songwriting category, there must be meaningful and more than de minimis human authorship in respect of the music and/or lyrics; if the work is submitted in a performance category, there must be meaningful and more than de minimis human authorship in respect of the performance); and (3) the author(s) of any A.I. material incorporated into the work are not eligible to be nominees or Latin GRAMMY recipients insofar as their contribution to the portion of the work that consists of such A.I material is concerned. De minimis is defined as lacking significance or importance; so minor as to merit disregard.

**LABEL COPY CREDITS AND UPDATED FEES**

All requests for label copy credit corrections must include the following:

* A formal statement detailing what information was inaccurately submitted or omitted.

* Updated (final) label copy.

* Call sheets or studio logs confirming that the additional individual(s) worked on the recording and specifying their roles.

* Confirmation that credits have been updated across all applicable DSPs.

* All requests must be submitted in writing by the person who made the entry.

Changes or corrections to credits will be accepted from the time of submission until the announcement of nominations. If a nominated recording or video requires a credit correction after nominations are announced, a fee will be implemented. New fees and payment requirements are as follows: Record labels: USD $5,000 per label copy and Latin Recording Academy members: USD $1,000 per label copy.

**MIAMI (JANUARY 26, 2026)** – The Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation® hosted their Emerging Talent Intensive Program at Boys &amp; Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade over the weekend. The immersive learning experience, presented by Coca-Cola, included a full day of activities which guided 50 aspiring teen music creators through curated, hands-on workshops focused on the music business, songwriting, performance and Latin percussion.

Guest panelists included Latin GRAMMY®-winning artist **Natalia Ramírez** who shared insights into the wide range of career possibilities within the music industry—from performance and production to marketing and tech—while also sharing practical advice from her own professional journey. The program continued with a presentation by Latin GRAMMY® nominee and Foundation alum **Nicolás González**, who guided the young creators through the foundations of songwriting and live performance, covering topics like lyric development, song structure and the art of storytelling through music. Rounding out the day, Foundation alum **Alexis Soto**, led a Latin percussion workshop, featuring a hands-on rhythm session. Each of the presentations included engaging Q&amp;A sessions, with renowned journalist **Jessica Rodriguez** serving as the moderator, where the aspiring music creators were able to engage with the speakers and dived deeper into the respective workshops. 

 “We are incredibly grateful to the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation for bringing this transformative Emerging Talent Intensive Program to our Clubs,” said **Alex Rodríguez-Roig**, President of Boys &amp; Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade. “This partnership perfectly aligns with our mission to enable all young people to reach their full potential. By exposing our aspiring young music creators to world-class instruction in songwriting, performance and the business side of music, we're opening doors to career possibilities they may have never imagined. We thank the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation, Coca-Cola, and all the talented guest instructors for investing in the futures of Miami-Dade's youth, and for showing them that their dreams in music are within reach.”

“Creating innovative, engaging programs that make a meaningful impact in the communities we serve is central to our purpose, and we’re proud to bring that commitment to life through our more than 75-year partnership with Boys &amp; Girls Clubs,” said **Alba Baylin**, Vice President of Stakeholder and Social Impact at The Coca-Cola Company. “Together with the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation we’ve created a culturally relevant and inspiring program that gives young people in Miami direct exposure to and mentorship from music industry experts, while building the workforce readiness skills they need for successful futures.”

“Together with Boys &amp; Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade and our guest panelists we are fulfilling our shared mission to serve the community and nurture aspiring music creators,” said **Raquel “Rocky” Egusquiza**, Executive Director of the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation. “We are grateful to them and to Coca-Cola for partnering with us for this Emerging Talent Intensive as we further advance the future of Latin music.”

The Emerging Talent Intensive Program was launched in 2025 and creates engaging, accessible experiences for aspiring performing artists. The program offers young creators the opportunity to participate in hands-on training through classes and jam sessions based on the broad and dynamic curriculum offered by the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation guest panelists and their brand partners.
