Atlantis Music Prize#2010

{{Short description|Annual Canadian award}}

The Atlantis Music Prize is a music award annually given to the best full-length album from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, based only on artistic merit, regardless of genre, sales or record label. The award, established in 2008 by St. John's-based alternative newspaper The Scope, includes a certificate prize of $1000. The award is modeled after the Polaris Music Prize for all of Canada (which in turn is modeled after the Mercury Music Prize in the United Kingdom).{{cite web|url=http://atlantismusicprize.ca/about/ |title=About |publisher=Atlantis Music Prize |year=2007 |accessdate=April 20, 2009 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110706164755/http://atlantismusicprize.ca/about/ |archivedate=July 6, 2011 }}{{cite web|url=http://www.chartattack.com/damn/2006/06/0211.cfm |title=The Polaris Music Prize Will Go To Canada's Best Album |accessdate=July 4, 2006| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20060702111349/http://www.chartattack.com/damn/2006/06/0211.cfm| archivedate= 2 July 2006 | url-status= usurped}}

Jury and selection process

No entry fee is required for submission, and all genres of music are included. A shortlist of 10 albums is compiled by more than 30 judges from the area, who each choose five albums, and a second panel of six judges selects the winner at the Atlantis Music Prize Gala.{{cite web|url=http://atlantismusicprize.ca/rules/ |title=Rules |publisher=Atlantis Music Prize |year=2007 |accessdate=April 20, 2009 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110706164815/http://atlantismusicprize.ca/rules/ |archivedate=July 6, 2011 }}
