Mercury Music Prize

Mercury Music Prize
(also the Nationwide Mercury Prize)
a pop music prize started in 1992 as an alternative to the Brit Awards because these were seen to be very influenced by the big record companies. The Mercury prize is given every year to a band or singer, especially one from a small independent record company, for the best album of the year.
