There's no longer a Polka Album prize

Grammys ditch category for 2010 awards

The category for Best Polka Album at the Grammny Awards has been ditched for next year’s ceremony.

The dropped category is part of a reshuffle in the selection of awards for next year, which also includes splitting the Contemporary Folk/Americana into two categories, Contemporary Folk Album and Americana Album.

In addition, the Latin Urban Album category will merge with Latin Rock Or Alternative into a Latin Rock, Alternative or Urban Album category, reports Variety.

109 awards will be given out at the 2010 event, which takes place on January 31.
