Grammy Award for Best Recording Package

The Grammy Award for Best Recording Package , in German "Grammy award for the best recording package", is a music prize that has been awarded by the American Recording Academy in the field of music craft since 1959 . The award goes to the art director of the recording.

History and background

Since 1959, the Grammy Awards are presented annually in numerous categories by the Recording Academy in the United States to recognize artistic achievement, technical competence, and overall excellence regardless of album sales or chart position.

One of these categories is the Grammy Award for Best Recording Package . The award has been given since 1959 for the visual appearance of an album. It is presented to the art director of the winning album. The award was initially called the Grammy Award for Best Album Cover. From 1962 to 1965 it was also divided into the areas of classical and non-classical, and from 1966 to 1968 into the areas of graphics and photography. In 1974 the name of the award was changed to Grammy Award for Best Album Package and was given the current name in 1994.
