Bill Ryder-Jones, Stealing Sheep and Mic Lowry are among the shortlisted artists for the GIT Awards 2016.
The event, which champions the best new music from Merseyside, will take place at Constellations in Liverpool on 14 May.
Other nominated acts include Hooton Tennis Club, Clean Cut Kid and Mugstar.
Peter Guy, GIT founder, said: ‘When The GIT Award began five years ago, new Liverpool music was sadly under-represented on a national scale with few eyes or ears taking notice - now it's widely considered to be the focal point for the best emerging UK artists.
‘Once again, this year's GIT Award nominations shortlist goes a long way to prove that, with artists from across all spheres creating music imploring listeners to take note".
The fifth GIT Award recipient will follow in the footsteps of previous winners Loved Ones (2012), Baltic Fleet (2013), Forest Swords (2014) and last year’s winners All We Are.
The full 2016 shortlist is:
Clean Cut Kid
Dragged Into Sunlight
Hooton Tennis Club
Lumen
Mic Lowry
Mugstar
RongoRongo
Bill Ryder-Jones
Stealing Sheep
Trudy
TVAM
The Vryll Society
