The Grammy rules state " Recordings must be in general distribution in the United States, i.e. sales by label to a branch or recognized independent distributor, via the Internet, or mail order/retail sales for a nationally marketed product." This also means that you cant sell it from your website only but must sell it through a third party retailer like Amazon for physical product or iTunes for digital only distribution. The first time I remember this happening is when the Washington Chorus self produced a recording or Britten War Requiem and got it approved for submission by selling it through Amazon. It ended up winning. All the best, -mark
