New Pantheon Award and NME Awards 'Silent Alarm' is one of the shortlisted albums for the New Pantheon Music Prize - an American award that replaces the prestigious Shortlist Music Prize. The New Pantheon will go to an album released in the United States between July 1st 2004 and October 30th 2005 that has yet to sell 500,000 copies at the time of nomination.
A panel of 27, including Elton John, Elijah Wood, Beck and John Legend, will decide on the winner. The rather long list of initial nominees will be reduced to 10 finalists and the winner will be announced at a celebratory concert taking place in Los Angeles on February 6th 2006.
You can now also submit your nominations for the winners of the NME Awards 2006. Head over to the NME microsite...
