Polaris Music PrizeCanadian music critics come together every summer to award one Canadian album the Polaris Music Prize.

Black Emperor, Feist, Arcade Fire, Karkwa, Fucked Up, and Caribou, to name just a few.

The 2014 long list was announced last week and includes repeat nominees like Arcade Fire and Owen Pallett, along with other indie Canadian acts such as Chromeo, Kalle Mattson, Mounties, PUP, Solids, and Timber Timbre.
