The shortlist for the Scottish Album of the Year Award is set to be whittled down from its longlist of 20 albums to the 1-0-strong shortlist.

And music fans get the chance to vote for the 10th album to be included in this list, in a 72-hour public vote running from Monday 13 to Wednesday 15 June

The shortlist of 10 albums will then be announced on Thursday 16 June at the BBC Quay Sessions, before the winner of the SAY Award is announced at Paisley Town Hall on Wednesday 29 June, at a ceremony which will also feature live performances from previous SAY nominees and top 40 album chart entrants Fatherson, as well as last year’s SAY Award Winner Kathryn Joseph, newcomers Bossy Love and White and folk ensemble the Treacherous Orchestra.

The public have previously been able to stream the 20 longlisted titles in full and for free over the past four weeks at www.sayaward.com and can now cast their votes in support of the album they think should make the shortlist of 10.

The album with the most votes at midnight on Wednesday will automatically make the list, earning a guaranteed £1,000 plus the chance to be hailed Scottish Album of the Year 2016 and take the £20,000 first prize. The winner of the public vote will join nine other shortlisted titles chosen by The SAY Award’s independent judging panel.
