Every Grammys Songwriter of the Year, Non-Classical winner

3 ceremonies, 2023–2025. 3 different winners.

Songwriter of the Year, Non-Classical was first awarded in 2023, so it does not run the full 2000–2025 window.

One band per year, because no winner has gone back-to-back in the years on record. Colored by label; scroll sideways for the full run.
