The 2024 Prism Prize finalists have been announced, and the 10 shortlisters include a Grammy winner, multiple Polaris Prize shortlisters and Juno nominees.

The Prism Prize is given out every year to recognize the incredible artistry of Canadian videos, and the finalists and winner are chosen by a jury of more than 120 people in the Canadian music, film, media and arts industries. Each of the finalists are also eligible to win the fan-voted Audience Award, which comes with a $2,500 prize. You can vote through to June 6 via PrismPrize.com.

The winning artist and director of the Prism Prize will receive a $20,000 cash prize, and will be announced on Thursday, June 25, along with the Audience Award winner. That's also when the Prism Prize will announce the recipients of its special awards, which include the Hi-Fidelity Award, the Lipsett Award, the Special Achievement Award and the Willie Dunn Award.
