Juries and scoring

According to the regulations for the 2022 awards, awards are given in a total of 28 categories. Of these, there are 17 genre-specific categories, three awards for the author (Composer, Lyricist and Songwriter), seven additional categories (Spellemann of the Year, Newcomer of the Year, Song of the Year, Music Video of the Year, Producer of the Year, International Success of the Year, and Release of the Year) and the Honorary Prize.{{Cite web |url=https://spellemann.no/info/ |title=Spellemannprisen – About Spellemann |website=spellemann.no |date=3 September 2019 | language=no |access-date=11 April 2025}}
For each of the genre-specific classes as well as the author classes and additional classes, with the exception of Spellemann of the Year, the Honorary Prize and the Release of the Year, a professional jury is appointed. The professional juries decide by means of two rounds of scoring which of the registered artists and albums will be nominated in the various classes. Between three and five artists are nominated in each class. The professional jury then votes for a winner who receives a bronze statuette and diploma. For the Children's Music class, a children's jury is also used to select the winner. In the song of the year class, the winner is selected by the professional jury in combination with an audience vote. An audience vote has also been used in the past to select the winner of the Music Video class. For the Release of the Year class, a grand jury composed of all members of the professional jury is used. For the classes Spellemann of the Year and the Honorary Prize, a special jury nominates artists and selects the winner on an open basis. No nominations for Spellemann of the Year and the honorary prize are announced in advance.{{Cite web |url=https://spellemann.no/info/juryinstruks/ |title=Juryinstruks for fagjuryene Spellemann 2021|website=spellemann.no |date=4 September 2019 |access-date=12 April 2025}}
