The works of other renowned international artistes like Vybz Kartel – Party With Me, The Wailers – Evolution, UB40 – UB45, Various Artists – Jamaica Festival Song 2024 Competition, and Various Artists – Celebrating Jamaica 62, among others, have been submitted.

According to the Academy, the ‘Best Reggae Album’ category “recognises excellence in albums of reggae music, including roots reggae, dancehall, and ska music.”

The nominations and awards are bestowed on “albums containing greater than 75% playing time of new reggae recordings.”

The Academy also requires that the albums’ featured artists, producers, and engineers are only eligible for nomination if they contributed more than 50 per cent of the project’s playing time.
