The 2025 edition of the Canadian Polaris Music Prize will be presented on September 16, 2025 at Massey Hall.
The prize for the winning album will be reduced to $30,000, rather than the $50,000 awarded to recent winners, but will be supplemented with a new $10,000 SOCAN Polaris Song Prize to honour individual songs. This new award replaces the SOCAN Songwriting Prize, which has been dormant since 2023.
The prize committee is also launching the Polaris Festival, a series of musical events highlighting the nominees in the weeks leading up to the award ceremony, with further details to be announced at a later date.
