Feature by The Skinny | 12 Jun 2017

The 20-strong longlist for this year's Scottish Album of the Year Award will be whittled down to a final ten later this week, but the listening public will have their chance to get their favourite album through to the final stage thanks to this week's SAY Award public vote.

The vote, open until midnight on Wed 14 Jun at sayaward.com, will guarantee the winner a place on the final shortlist to be revealed on BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Radio 6 Music on Thu 15 Jun. The full longlist for the 2017 Scottish Album of the Year award can be found below.

The winner of the SAY Award 2017 will be announced at an award ceremony at Paisley Town Hall on Wed 28 Jun. The winner will receive a cash prize of £20,000 and each of the other shortlisted artists will receive £1,000. Each shortlisted nominee will also receive a unique SAY Award designed and produced by the winner of the SAY Design Commission; a prize supported by Renfrewshire Council’s new business investment hub InCube to create the awards for the shortlisted artists.
