This year’s longlist is proof that the pressure of the pandemic added fuel to the creative fire – the work of Scotland’s musicians stands shoulder to shoulder with the best the world has to offer. It celebrates the fact that, right now in 2022, Scotland’s music is defined by its diversity, as artists from so many different backgrounds make outstanding music in every genre imaginable. ![]() Now’s the time to get behind your favourite record, and we look forward to revealing and then championing 10 of the best Scottish albums of the last year in the lead up to 2022’s SAY Award Ceremony on Thursday 20 October.”Īlan Morrison, Head of Music at Creative Scotland said: “The SAY Award does more than throw a spotlight on the best albums of the past year. In any year prize money is significant for artists, but in the face of the current financial crisis, this support will make an instrumental difference. From the 20 outstanding Scottish albums that made up this year’s Longlist, the public’s choice will automatically be guaranteed a place in the 10-strong Shortlist along with a minimum prize of £1,000. Robert Kilpatrick, Creative Director of the Scottish Music Industry Association (SMIA) / The SAY Award, said: The SAY Award public vote is the chance for music fans to have their SAY in the determination of the Shortlist. ![]() The nine other Shortlisted albums will be selected by this year’s SAY Award judging panel, who will then together consider the Shortlist and determine 2022’s SAY Award winner. Music fans are given a 72-hour window to vote at, and the album with the most votes will secure a minimum prize of £1,000 and remain in the running for the £20,000 grand prize and coveted title of Scottish Album of the Year. ![]() ![]()
