The jury can in special cases add albums to the award category and shortlist, which led to seven albums receiving the awards in 2013 and 21 albums being nominated in 2016.
The award jury consists of leading Icelandic music journalists, radio show hosts and industry professionals. Head of the jury is the journalist and author Árni Matthíasson.
