About the RT Choice Music Prize

The RT Choice Music Prize is organised by David Reid. Editor of RT Brainstorm, Jim Carroll is the chairman of the judging panel for Irish Album of the Year. It is unique in that the judging of the Irish Album of the Year focuses simply and solely on the music (as opposed to sales or airplay). A new panel of judges has been put in place for each of the three new categories. The full list of all the judges will

be on the RT Choice Music Prize website starting 9th January, and through the week as each shortlist is announced, along with some further details. This is the eighteenth year of the prize. Past winners can be found via http://www.choicemusicprize.ie/past-prizes/
