The Scottish Album of the Year (SAY) Award is not far away from revealing its longlist of 20 albums that will be eventually whittled down to just one on Tuesday 19 June when the winner of the inaugural Scottish Album of the Year Award will be revealed.

This new national prize, which has been established to reward and promote both diversity and creativity of music and art in Scotland and celebrate the most exceptional albums released by Scottish artists, has been developed by the Scottish Music Industry Association, in partnership with Creative Scotland. The SAY Award will place its focus on artistic merit rather than sales figures, genre or label affiliation, offering £20,000 to the winning album and £1,000 to each of the nine runners-up. The links between art and music will also be celebrated with a £20,000 commission offered to graduates from Scotland’s four principal art schools, one successful graduate producing an original unique artwork for each of the shortlisted finalists.

The choice of which albums deserve to enter the 20 strong longlist will be the job of 100 impartial ‘Nominators’, including our very own Andy McColgan, who have been invited by the SMIA to participate and drawn from genres and sectors across the music industry and the arts.

Each nominator will pick a total of five of their favourite eligible releases from 2011 and rank them in order of preference (1st = 10 pts; 2nd = 8pts etc.) before sending their ‘Top 5′ to the SMIA for collation and scoring.

After all of the Nominators’ submissions have been calculated and verified by an independent auditor, the 20 highest-scoring albums will be announced as The SAY Award Long List.

What’s even better is that courtesy of the SAY Award App and through the SAY website, you can instantly access this Long List and over the course of four weeks from Monday 16 April, you’ll have the chance to listen to all twenty albums.

Every weekday from Monday 16 April one album from the long list will become the Album of the Day: available to stream in its entirety (and free of charge) for 24 hours. Oh and even if you miss an album through the week don’t worry because you’ll be able to stream all five albums that have been played over the week on the Saturday and Sunday.

While you listen away to the top 20 albums the 11 judges will be deciding based solely on musical and artistic merit which of the 20 album long list deserves to go on the 10 album shortlist.

But there is power in your lugs too! As you will have the chance to pick a band to be placed on the shortlist for 24 hours on Monday 14 May. During this time you can vote for your favourite album from the Long List with the album receiving the most public votes securing a place on the Short List. If the Judging Panel’s Short List does not include the public’s choice then they’ll have to relegate one of their choices in order to make way for the public’s favourite.

The judging panel will then be asked to get back round the table one last time for the award ceremony on Tuesday 19 June, when they will choose a winner of the inaugural Scottish Album of the Year Award.

Listen online, stream and download the monthly Wild Combination podcast on Radio Magnetic. Presented by one of Glasgow’s finest DJs, David Barbarossa.

This month on Wild Combination, David is joined for a couple of hours and a couple of dozen beers by local hero (and international interpretive dance sensation) James Pole.

In thrall to the sun, David sails you through the jungle and on to exotic shores. From there, James drags you down a back alley and roughs you up a little, before taking you to the best party you’ve never been to.

It’s entirely possible that you’ll awake in a few hours, still faintly delirious, with an unfamiliar sound ringing in your ears and the faint smell of fresh sweat & stale poppers ringing in your nostrils.

Enjoy your stay.
