Feist has won the 2012 Polaris Music Prize for her Metals <\/em>album, besting the nine other albums on the Polaris Short List. 2011 Polaris Prize winners Jeremy Gara and Tim Kingsbury of Arcade Fire made the announcement at the conclusion of this evening’s Gala.<\/p>\n

The Prize, which goes to the best Canadian album of the year based on \u00ab\u00a0artistic merit without regard to genre, sales history or label affiliation,\u00a0\u00bb was determined by a Grand Jury of 11 music media professionals drawn from the greater Polaris jury pool of over 200 writers, editors, broadcasters, DJs and personalities from across the country.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0I haven’t had a second to consider how to talk about this yet,\u00a0\u00bb said Feist in a statement, \u00ab\u00a0but what I want to say is thank you to the people who really listened to my record. I’m genuinely grateful from one solitary listener to another. Honestly, thanks.\u00a0\u00bb <\/p>\n

Held at the Concert Hall Studios at Bell Media’s Masonic Temple in downtown Toronto, Feist took home $30,000. The other nine short list nominees were awarded $2,000 by Slaight Music.<\/p>\n
