One thought on “Long List for the 2014 Polaris Music Prize

  • Does the jury get to see the long long list? That is, all the nominated albums submitted by all, and does anyone get to see a ranking of all submissions (including those that didn’t make it to the long list). Can jurors publish their five submissions?
