Grammy Award for Best Children's Album
Encyclopedia
The Grammy Award
for Best Children's Album is a new category in the annual Grammy Awards ceremony from 2012.
It combines the previous categories for Best Musical Album for Children
and Best Spoken Word Album for Children
, which basically means a return to the situation prior to 1994, when there was one Best Album for Children
category.
The restructuring of these categories was a result of the Recording Academy's wish to decrease the list of categories and awards.
According to the Academy, "[it] passed the proposal that a return to one category for all types of recordings for children, as it was from 1958-1993, would be most appropriate in this new context."
