  • Haviah Mighty Has Won the 2019 Polaris Music Prize for the Album 13Th Floor
    HAVIAH MIGHTY HAS WON THE 2019 POLARIS MUSIC PRIZE FOR THE ALBUM 13TH FLOOR TORONTO, ON – Monday, September 16, 2019 Haviah Mighty has won the 2019 Polaris Music Prize for the album 13th Floor. “For me, the 13th floor is something that we remove from our reality because it is something that we don’t understand and therefore we dismiss it,” said Haviah Mighty. “This is very parallel to so many of the experiences that I speak on, on this album. I’m in a room with so many different people from so many different walks of life who have acknowledged that this is something they feel is important. These people don’t necessarily share the narratives that I ,do or the walks of life that I have, and yet, here we are, finally on what I believe is the 13th floor. This is the moment of resurgence where the dismissal that has existed is now being removed, and the discussion is being had. I’m so grateful that the people around me push me to be brave enough to speak my truth and to have it be acknowledged in this way.” The Prize, which was presented by CBC Music, goes to the best Canadian album of the year based on artistic merit without regard to genre, sales history or label affiliation. It was determined by a Grand Jury of 11 music media professionals drawn from the greater Polaris jury pool of 199 writers, editors, broadcasters, DJs and personalities from across the country. Haviah Mighty’s victory came with a $50,000 monetary reward.

  • Fw POLARIS MUSIC PRIZE ANNOUNCES INCREASE TO
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE POLARIS MUSIC PRIZE ANNOUNCES INCREASE TO $50,000 $3,000 TO BE AWARDED TO THE SHORT LIST ARTISTS SLAIGHT FAMILY POLARIS HERITAGE PRIZE ALSO AN- NOUNCED TORONTO, ON – May 11, 2015. This past Saturday at the Slaight Music CMW Social, Steve Jordan, Founder and Executive Director of the Polaris Music Prize, and Gary Slaight, President of Slaight Music, announced that Slaight will con- tribute an additional $20,000 to the Prize, bringing the total to $50,000. In addition, Slaight will also increase their contribution to the Short List prizes from $2,000 to $3,000. Along with these additional contributions, Polaris announced The Slaight Family Polaris Heritage Prize, a new award that will annually honour five albums from the five decades before Polaris launched in 2006. Further details about the dates and selection process of this new prize will be revealed in the coming months. “We’re ecstatic that Gary and Derrick from Slaight music have stepped up to help us celebrate our tenth year in a huge way. Although it’s im- possible to put a dollar figure on great art, this increase bring us more in line with other major arts awards like the Scotiabank Giller Prize,” said Jordan. “And while this money is hugely generous, we are as ex- cited to extend the Polaris conversation to the rich legacy of classic records from Canadian history. We get to officially pose a long time in- formal argument; what would be nominated for Polaris before it ex- isted?” “We’ve been proud supporters of the Polaris Music Prize for many years and wanted to celebrate their ten years by awarding more funds to the winners and nominees,” said Gary Slaight.
