Following a four-week promotion of the twenty-strong SAY Award Longlist (see below), the time has come for the public to place their favourite album onto the shortlist via a 72 hour public vote.
Starting from Monday 26th May, the public have three days to visit The SAY Award website www.sayaward.com and vote for their favourite album from the longlist.
The album with the most public votes will secure an automatic place on The SAY Award Shortlist of ten, with the other nine titles being chosen by an independent panel of judges and announced, later that evening, at a drinks reception held in Glasgow’s CCA, on Thursday 29 May (see notes for editors for full list of judges).
