The SOCAN Polaris Song Prize honours the Canadian Song of the Year, judged solely on artistic merit—not genre, sales, or popularity. Launched in partnership with SOCAN during Polaris’ 20th season, the prize awards $10,000 to the winning work, split between the song’s Canadian performers and credited Canadian songwriter(s). The winner is revealed at the Polaris Concert & Award Ceremony each September in Toronto.
