The 2025 edition of the Canadian Polaris Music Prize was presented on September 16, 2025 at Massey Hall.
The prize for the winning album was reduced to $30,000, rather than the $50,000 awarded to recent winners, but was supplemented with a new $10,000 SOCAN Polaris Song Prize to honour individual songs. This new award replaces the SOCAN Songwriting Prize, which has been dormant since 2023.
The prize committee also launched the Polaris Festival, a series of concerts highlighting past and present Polaris nominees in a variety of locations across Canada. At the ceremony, they additionally announced a new platform to improve opportunities for emerging musicians to submit their music for Polaris consideration.
The album prize was won by Yves Jarvis for All Cylinders, with the song prize won by Mustafa for "Gaza Is Calling".
