Package deliverables

What the work includes

FYC Essentials $995

Preparation and materials

Eligibility and category review
Review the release information, official entry confirmation and approved category names against the applicable eligibility requirements. This review does not submit or change an awards entry.
FYC artwork and social graphics
Develop FYC artwork and social graphics using the agreed visual direction and rights-cleared source materials. Creative is reviewed for permitted wording and client approval before delivery.
FYC landing page and digital one-sheet
Build an FYC landing page to present the entered release and listening links, alongside a digital one-sheet with the relevant project information. Hosting arrangements and duration are confirmed in the written scope.
Artist biography review
Review the supplied artist biography for clarity, accuracy and relevance to the recording. Check the presentation against applicable FYC restrictions rather than adding unsupported promotional claims.
Strategy session and campaign roadmap
Discuss the project in a strategy session and set out a campaign roadmap with priorities, responsibilities and approvals. Timing is agreed after reviewing the entry status and available materials.

FYC Premiere $3,995

Expanded production and media outreach

Everything in Essentials
Includes the eligibility and category review, FYC artwork and social graphics, landing page and digital one-sheet, biography review, and strategy session and roadmap described in Essentials.
Premium FYC microsite
Develop a premium FYC microsite as an expanded digital presentation of the entered release and approved supporting materials. Structure, hosting and duration are agreed in scope; no ongoing hosting term is assumed.
Press release and media outreach
Prepare a press release using approved project information and coordinate the agreed media outreach. Editors decide independently whether to cover the release; outreach is not a placement guarantee or a voter blast.
Video trailer
Produce a video trailer using agreed, rights-cleared music and visuals to present the release. Format, length and production requirements are confirmed in the written scope rather than promised in advance.
Digital advertising creative and additional campaign materials
Develop digital advertising creative and additional campaign materials agreed for the project. This covers creative production, not paid ad spend or an included managed-media campaign.
Campaign consulting
Provide campaign consulting to align the agreed creative, approvals and outreach activity. Consulting responsibilities and timing are confirmed in scope, with no promise of privileged voter access or influence.

The approved deliverables above define each package. Exact formats, asset counts, revisions, hosting, responsibilities and duration are confirmed in the written scope.

From review to delivery

A clear approval process

  1. Review the entered release

    Review your officially entered release, entry confirmation and approved category names. Check the applicable Academy rules and current campaign suitability before confirming the work.

  2. Agree the scope and timing

    Collect the available materials and agree a written scope, responsibilities and timing. Asset counts, revisions, hosting and duration are set here, not assumed from the package name.

  3. Develop and approve creative

    Develop the agreed creative for client approval and check it against the Recording Academy’s applicable FYC rules and solicitation guidelines. Confirm rights and permitted wording before use.

  4. Deliver or coordinate outreach

    Deliver the agreed Essentials kit, or coordinate the agreed Premiere production and media outreach. Timing depends on reviewed materials and approvals; signup does not guarantee every deliverable fits the current voting window.

Practical answers

FYC package FAQs

What is the difference between Essentials and Premiere?

FYC Essentials ($995) covers campaign preparation and materials. FYC Premiere ($3,995) includes everything in Essentials plus a premium FYC microsite, press release and media outreach, video trailer, digital advertising creative and additional campaign materials, and campaign consulting. Premiere expands production and outreach; it does not include managed ads or promise coverage.

Who qualifies for the current campaign?

These packages target eligible, officially entered releases for the current campaign. Provide confirmation of official entry and approved category names so MPT can review suitability and applicable rules. An unentered release is not entered by choosing a package.

What does the October 16, 2026 deadline mean?

October 16, 2026 is the MPT campaign signup deadline only. It is not a Recording Academy entry or voting deadline and does not extend any Academy window. Official eligibility, entry and voting dates remain governed by the Academy.

Can MPT guarantee a nomination, votes, a win or media placements?

No. Voting and editorial decisions are independent. No nominations, votes, wins or media placements are guaranteed, and MPT does not offer voter blasts, confidential voter lists, vote buying/trading, gifts or incentives. MPT is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Recording Academy.

How soon can the materials or outreach be ready?

Timing is confirmed after the team reviews your materials, entry status, required work and approval availability. There is no guaranteed rush turnaround, and signing up does not mean every deliverable can be completed within the current voting window.

How many assets and revisions are included, and what about hosting?

Asset counts, formats, revisions, hosting arrangements and duration are agreed in the written scope. No fixed counts, revision allowance, hosting term or package duration should be assumed from this page. The 30-day timeframe belongs only to the separately scoped bespoke offer.

Does choosing or purchasing a package enter my music for an award?

No. Awards entry is separate and remains the responsibility of the submitting entity. Eligibility and category review does not submit an entry; awards entry and membership fees are not included.

Can I use artwork, a biography or a landing page I already have?

Yes—send your existing assets for review, together with the relevant rights and credits. The written scope will confirm how they can be used and what work is needed. No automatic discount or replacement deliverables are assumed.

Are advertising, third-party fees or events included?

Digital advertising creative is included in Premiere. Paid ad spend and managed media are not included or promised. Third-party fees, events, awards entry and membership fees are separate; any additional activity needs its own agreed scope and costs.

When should I request a bespoke FYC campaign instead?

Request a bespoke scope when you need a broader, coordinated full-service campaign beyond the two packages. The existing bespoke offer starts at $7,500 with a 30-day timeframe, subject to eligibility and annual rules review. That timeframe does not apply to Essentials or Premiere or guarantee that all activity fits an official voting window.
