NEW GRAMMY CATEGORY TO AWARD CREATIVES BEHIND THE BEST ALBUM COVER OF THE YEAR

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

The Grammy Awards introduced a new Best Album Cover category for 2026, honoring art directors rather than performers for their visual work. This year's five nominees include Bad Bunny's Debí Tirar Más Fotos, Tyler, the Creator's Chromakopia, and three other albums, with four featuring the artists themselves as art directors. The new award complements the existing Best Recording Package category and recognizes album covers' growing impact in today's digital landscape.
