The Hip's 'Fully Completely' has been nominated for the 2016 Slaight Family Polaris Heritage Prize.
The Polaris Music Prize is a not-for-profit organization that annually honours and rewards artists who produce Canadian music albums of distinction. And the Slaight Family Polaris Heritage Prize in particular honours Canadian albums OF THE PAST from four distinct time periods: 1960-75, 1976-85, 1986-95 and 1996-05. To quote the website:
"Like the Polaris Music Prize, winners and nominees for the Heritage Prize are albums of the highest artistic quality, without regards to sales or affiliations. Think of the Heritage Prize as our version of a hall of fame where we try to determine who would have won the Polaris Music Prize in the years before Polaris existed.
How it works is a select group of Canadian music media and historians gather together each year to create a vote-curated list of 10 Short List-nominated albums per era. Two albums per era, one chosen by public vote and one chosen by juror vote, will be designated as Heritage Prize winners each year.A select panel of music critics judge and award the Prize without regard to musical genre or commercial popularity."
Visit the website to vote (one nominee from each period, 'Fully Completely' is 1986-1995)! Spread the word, if you so choose :
