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/
