Judging Procedures

Initial judging will be done by a jury composed of members of the Association of Music Producers (AMP). Jury members are prohibited from voting on their own work. The top-scoring entries in each category will constitute the AMP Awards Finalist shortlist.

An independent Curatorial Committee will then review the shortlist results and make a final decision regarding the winning entry or entries in each Category. The Committee will be led by the competition's Show Chair, and may include past Show Chairs, representatives of record labels, ad agencies, music publishers and other industry professionals. (Curatorial Committee members are prohibited from voting on their own work.)

Winners will be announced during the 2024 AMP Awards presentation, scheduled for May 21, 2025.
