Best Saskatchewan Albums: Public Voting On Now

VOTE NOW ON THE LONG LIST!

VOTING CLOSES SUNDAY DECEMBER 13/2020, MIDNIGHT CST

It’s been another great year for Saskatchewan music! From outstanding singles, EPs, and albums, to virtual concerts and international showcases, Saskatchewan artists have been working to get their music heard at home and beyond our borders in an incredibly challenging year. From the albums released in the past year, SaskMusic juries have assembled our Long List of 42 albums and now we need the public's help to determine the BEST ones of 2020. We encourage music fans to listen to as many albums as possible before voting.

The Top 10 Saskatchewan Albums of 2020 will be announced online the week of December 16. Only one vote per IP address will be recorded for the duration of the voting period. Voting closes at midnight, Sunday, December 13, 2020 CST.

This project is to promote and celebrate Saskatchewan music. We seek to raise more awareness of our province's music and celebrate our artists’ many successes. The top album as determined by this poll will receive the 2020 Saskatchewan Music Award for "Album of the Year."
