Talk:Polaris Music Prize

Quick question
A quick and probably silly question, but is the $20,000 prize in Canadian dollars, or the converted value in United States dollars? GeeJo (t)⁄(c) • 13:54, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Yup it's in CAD. I'll add that to the article. --Madchester 16:45, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Regardless of genre, sales, or record label...
...but apparently not regardless of language. The official web-site being unilingual English, and the entire corpus of nominees and jury members being English-Canadian, I can only assume that the contest aims at rewarding the best English-Canadian record. There's nothing wrong with that, but I do take exception to the word "Canadian" being used in apparent exclusion of French-speaking Canadian artists. Can't do anything about the official web site (they apparently don't believe in uninvited comments, either), but perhaps the article could mention the fact that the contest is a celebration of English-Canadian culture, only. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.37.242.49 (talk • contribs)


 * Umm, Malajube's album is in French. Regardless, the article is not suppose to contain original research or personal commentary. Thanks. --Madchester 20:05, 8 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I stand corrected... a little. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.37.242.49 (talk • contribs)
 * For what it's worth, you do have a good point; French language music doesn't tend to register on English Canada's cultural radar. But I also don't necessarily put much stock in complaining about an award's nomination list; it's such a subjective thing and the list would have been completely different with a different jury. Why not name a few French albums that you think should have been considered? Bearcat 18:37, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, there are french language jurors and a french language nominee (as pointed out above). French jurors include Nicolas Tittley from Musique Plus, Patrick Baillargeon from ici, Patrick Binette from Musique Plus, Zvonimir Majcen from CYZ in Quebec City, Kathleen Lavoie from Le Soleil, Alain Brunet from La Presse, Yuani Fragata from CBC Radio 3 - Bande À Part. So, unsigned would have a good point, were it actually researched on the Polaris website, and true. (SP)

Why is it racist?
