Five Quebecois music acts, a Top 40 singer and well-travelled punk rockers from Toronto are among those vying for the Polaris Music Prize tonight.

Ten albums stand to win the $50,000 prize, decided by an 11-member jury of journalists, broadcasters and bloggers who will choose the best Canadian album in closed-door deliberations during the gala.

Toronto-founded punk band Pup are nominated for their second Polaris with the explosive "Morbid Stuff," while rapper Shad returns with his fourth nomination for "A Short Story About A War," and Vancouver-based Snotty Nose Rez Kids are back for a second consecutive year with "Trapline." Also in the running are Vincent Roberge of Levis, Que., with "La nuit est une panthere," produced under the alias Les Louanges, and Toronto rapper Haviah Mighty's "13th Floor."
