There's the high-roller option. This is an auction. These are limited in number and are signed by each of the nominated musicians. All of the proceeds from this auction go to MusiCounts.
Or, you can get one of the reproductions, slightly smaller, directly from our site for just $15. Just click on the Posters link to the right of this post! 2$ of each sale of this version also go to MusiCounts.
It looks and sounds amazing! There are dramatic and emotional performances from each of the 2010 Short List artists. Be sure to tune in to Much Music Saturday at 9pm and midnight EST!
We specialize in lists. This may be our favourite: a list of all the records stores in the country who are giving away a free iTunes download card with one track personally selected by each of the Short List nominees. They're in stores from coast to coast. If you like any of what you hear, go back and buy the whole record! Record stores! Still the first and best social networks!
From east to west.

The gala is invite only, but now there's a way to celebrate the Short List and breathlessly await the winner announcement. Our friends at The Drake Hotel in Toronto and music education charity MusiCounts have joined forces to bring you the first ever Polaris Gala Screening Party.
Nos nouveaux amis de chez canteen Art Shop and Gallery à Ottawa nos ont approché au printemps dernier avec l’idée d’organiser une exposition avec nos affiches Polaris.
“Bonne idée†avons nous dit. Alors ils s’y sont mis et ils l’ont fait.
Our new friends at the Canteen Art Shop and Gallery in Ottawa approached us back in the Spring with the idea of doing an art show with our Polaris prints.
"Great idea" we said. So they've gone ahead and done it.
Nous avons été approché par le TIFF pour les aider avec la programmation musicale du lancement du bâtiment TIFF Bell Lightbox sur King Street à Toronto. C’est un très bon moyen pour aller voir quelques un des artistes finalistes de cette année.
The Sadies sont toujours incroyables, et c’est également une opportunité rare de voir sur la meme scène les deux artistes francophones de cette année, Radio Radio et Karkwa.
We were approached by TIFF to help them come up with some music for the opening of the TIFF Bell Lightbox building on King Street In Toronto. This is a great way for you to check out a few of this year's Short List artists.
The Sadies are always amazing, and this is a rare chance for you to catch the two Francophone artists Short Listed this year on the same stage, Radio Radio and Karkwa.
En 2006, nous essayions de trouver quoi offrir à nos nominés pour commémorer l’occasion. Nous avions vu beaucoup de sortes de trophés mais rien ne nous avait vraiment électrisé. Il fallait que ce soit meilleur que l’Oscar ou le Conn Smythe Trophy. Mais comment faire mieux ?
Back in '06 we were trying to figure out what to give our Short List nominees to commemorate the occasion. We looked at a bunch of trophy-type awards but really, most of them look kind of silly. It would have to be better than the Oscar, or the Conn Smythe Trophy. How do you top those?
