The short list for the SOCAN Polaris Song Prize, which will go to the Canadian song of the year, has just been announced.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Canadian performers and songwriters of the winning song will split the $10,000 prize money, and the winner will be determined based on artistic merit, without regard to musical genre or commercial popularity, by the Polaris jury.<\/p>\n
The Polaris Music Prize and the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN) teamed up last year for the inaugural Song Prize to provide artists with more opportunities for recognition at a time when singles are often in the spotlight. <\/p>\n
