Photo Gallery: The Polaris Music Prize gala

By Canadian Press on September 17, 2025.

Yves Jarvis has won the Polaris Music Prize for his album “All Cylinders.”

The fifth full-length record from the Montreal rock musician was selected for the $30,000 prize by an 11-member grand jury, which named it the best Canadian album of the year based on artistic merit.

He took the stage at Toronto’s Massey Hall to accept the cash award from host and 2019 winner Haviah Mighty.

This year’s Polaris gala saw the introduction of a new $10,000 song prize, which went to contemporary folk-poet Mustafa for “Gaza is Calling.”

Here are some scenes from Tuesday night’s gala.
