Xfm are once again about to kick off with its annual music prize. Every January, it names the Best British Debut Album of the last year, celebrating the diverse and impressive selection of new music and new artists across the country.
Previous winners have included The Enemy (with We'll Live And Die In These Towns, 2008), Glasvegas (Glasvegas, 2009), The xx (xx, 2010) and Stornoway (Beachcomber's Windowsill, 2011).
The winner will be announced by a voting panel of judges at the HMV Ritz in Manchester on February 8 as Xfm and HMV's Next Big Thing put on a very special night featuring All The Young, Dry The River, Spector, Ren Harvieu and Willy Moon.
Before they reach that stage, however, they need you, me and us to tell them our favourite debut album by a British artist. From that they will compile a shortlist for the judges to work from.
Here are a few of the eligible artists:
Chapel Club, Ed Sheeran, Frankie & The Heartstrings, Beady Eye, Miles Kane, The Vaccines, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Wretch 32.
Voting opens on Monday (January 16), so get thinking and then get voting!
