The Recording Academy revealed the full nominees for its next year Grammy awards on Friday, reported The New York Times.

Duy, 28, was nominated in the category along with teams of art directors in charge of four other albums: "For The Birds: The Birdsong Project" by various artists, American rock band Neutral Milk Hotel’s album "The Collected Works Of Neutral Milk Hotel," American musician Bo Burnham’s album "Inside: Deluxe Box Set," and American musician Lou Reed’s album "Words & Music, May 1965 - Deluxe Edition."

Presented since 1995 to an album’s art directors, the award is to honor quality boxed sets or special limited-edition packages, as its name suggests.

Duy wrote on his Facebook: "People surrounding me have always been my biggest inspiration and motivation. I will surely have a longer, more complete, and deeper thank you note after I calm down."

Awards winners will be announced at the 2024 Grammy awards night, set to take place on Feb. 4, 2024, at the Los Angeles-based Crypto.com Arena, according to The Guardian.

Graduated from the ArtCenter College of Design in the U.S., Duy is now a Hanoi-based creative director. He also founded his own graphic design studio.
