A category has been deleted

As the Culture News previously reported, this year Grammis consists of one category smaller. This is because the category for children's music has been removed.

"We would like to talk about the child category in recent years, but then we think that the definition, procedure and criteria must be rewritten from the ground up," commented organizer Ifpi's communications and marketing manager Lisa Cronstedt.

The decision was met with criticism by, among others, artist Britta Persson, the trade organization SKAP's chairman Alfons Karabuda and the children's music composer and the former award winner in the category, Gullan Bornemark:

- This gives bad signals. Children's music is important. Kids really need their own music. After all, they are affected by so much else that is flowing around and which is intended for adult ears, Gullan Bornemark told the Culture News then.
