FAQ
Common questions
Do I need an account to start?
No. You can complete your Award Readiness Plan anonymously and view your results immediately. No account is required, but you can save your progress by signing in with Google or email.
Are you affiliated with award organizations?
No. Music Awards Center is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any award organization. Award names are referenced solely to explain supported award programs.
Can a high score guarantee me a win?
No. Your Readiness Index reflects how closely your profile and catalog align with each award's published requirements. It does not guarantee eligibility, nomination, selection, or award.
Where does your information come from?
Official award requirements come from public information sources as published by each award organization. Music Awards Center recommendations are clearly identified as our own guidance.
