About the Mercury Music Prize

Established with grandeur in 1992, the esteemed award stands as a bronze testament to the unrivaled artistry and creative brilliance of an album. Built on the solid foundation of pure merit, the award spotlights the dazzling excellence that breathes life into every note and lyric.

Composing the distinguished panel of judges is a vibrant blend of luminaries from the diverse kingdom of music. Poised amongst them are virtuoso musicians, dynamic presenters, ingenious producers, insightful journalists, and visionary festival organizers, their collective expertise refining the selection process into a harmonious symphony of informed decisions. 

Winning the award or even being amongst the nominees often serves as an electrifying catalyst for a meteoric rise in sales. However, the velocity of this sales boost can fluctuate, hinging on the amount of media exposure that the award list and ceremony attract. Yet, regardless of sales, the true reward lies in the recognition of talents that might otherwise remain hidden in the vast expanse of music, bringing them into the deserving limelight and providing an unforgettable boost to their musical journey.
