That list of 10 had been narrowed down from the long list of 40 by a Canada-wide jury of journalists and other industry professionals, with the final winner being chosen by a grand jury of 11.

This is the 17th year of the Polaris Music Prize. Last year's award was won by Cadence Weapon for his album Parallel World.
