They’ll try to boost inclusivity at the upcoming ceremony by making a major change and expanding the best artist field to ten nominees.
When the Brits return to London this winter, the number of nominees for both British artist of the year and international artist of the year will include 10 instead of five nominees. This change is being introduced just a year after the ceremony received a lot of backlash for only nominating male acts for British artist of the year in 2023.
Dr Jo Twist, CEO of awards organizers the BPI, told BBC News these changes were a part of the Brit Awards’ annual review.
“Obviously we were disappointed that no women were nominated for artist of the year in 2023. So we reached out to people in the industry and expert groups to understand how we can improve this for this year, to make the Brits inclusive and reflective,” Twist explained.
Several more changes will be implemented before the 2024 Brit Award return to London’s O2 Arena on March 2, 2024. Five genre categories will be present at the upcoming ceremony instead of four, with R&B getting a separate category instead of being merged with pop.

Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa was one of the biggest winners at this year’s Brit Awards, and she celebrated her triumph in a custom Vivienne Westwood dress that gave us modern-day Marie Antoinette vibes.
Rina Sawayama
Sawayama is well-known for her edgy personal style, but she took a more classy approach at the BRITs and had her princess moment in a ruffled purple organza gown by Balmain.
Taylor Swift
Another star who kept things classy, but still managed to steal the show, was one and only Taylor Swift. She accepted the honorary global icon award in the silver Miu Miu ensemble.
Billy Porter
We can always count on Billy Porter to bring some pizazz to each red carpet event he attends, and he certainly delivered in lace satin threeASFOUR dress that he accessorized to perfection.
Harry Styles
Styles is often hailed as one of male fashion’s biggest icons, and he lived up to his reputation at the BRITs thanks to his retro Gucci suit and a statement handbag.
