The Polaris Music Prize is an annual, juried award given to a Canadian album of the highest artistic integrity without regard to sales figures, genre or professional affiliation. It is determined by a group of journalists, broadcasters, bloggers and programmers from across Canada. This year the winning album will receive $50,000.

Previous Polaris winners include Tanya Tagaq, Feist, Patrick Watson and Owen Pallett.

The jury will now cut this list of 40 to a short list of 10, which will be announced on July 16. The winner will be chosen at the Polaris Music Prize Gala on Sept. 21.
