Polaris Music Prize presents

Polaris is dedicated to celebrating the art of music. It brings together music lovers, artists and a dynamic jury to discover, discuss and award the best in Canadian music based on artistic merit.

The Polaris Gala is our winner reveal event, where we honour the best Canadian music albums of the year with live musical performances from the nominated acts on the Polaris Short List. The winner is determined by an 11-member Polaris Grand Jury selected from the greater Polaris juror pool.
