Polaris Prize

It's less than a week until Canada's Polaris Prize honours the past year's best Canadian album. The 10 record shortlist, as selected by a jury of several hundred critics, broadcasters and bloggers, ranges from the big (Arcade Fire's 'The Suburb's) and the buzzy (the Weeknd's 'House of Balloons') to the experimental (Braids' 'Native Speakers' and the esoteric (Colin Stetson's 'New History Warfare Vol. 2').

Every year the albums get their own commemorative art poster commissioned for the ceremony, but now fans can get their mitts on these limited-edition silk-screened reproductions by online pre-order here. So here's a look at the Polaris Prize's 2011 posters.
