The Northern Ireland Music Prize awards are the Northern Irish awards for musicians.[1] It was produced by the Oh Yeah music centre, and is supported by Arts Council of Northern Ireland and Phonographic Performance Limited.[2] Started in 2013, it was "aimed at recognising the great wealth of recorded music from Northern Ireland."[3]
A shortlist of 14 albums is created each year by an academy of professionals from the Northern Irish music industry. The prize winner would be selected by a "panel of experts" and announced at a ceremony in Belfast’s Mandela Hall.[3][4][5][6]
