As has only just been announced on the Grammy website, the postponed 63rd Grammy Awards are to be presented together with the current 64th Grammy Awards in early 2022. For us, this turn of events means that we can keep our fingers crossed once again: Our member Tom Ammermann has been nominated along with David Ziegler (of our supporting member Dolby), Fritz Hilpert and Jason Banks for Booka Shade's album "Dear Future Self". The album can be found on the Grammy website in the category "*72nd Best Immersive Audio Album (63RD GRAMMY)" as a subcategory of "74th Best Immersive Audio Album."

The 63rd Grammys will also be presented in the Awards Ceremony of the 64th Grammy Awards. Both Grammys will be awarded independently.

Here is the corresponding entry on the Grammy website:
