The nominees for the 2014 Ivor Novello Awards have been revealed, with the best in British songwriting and composition honoured on the annual shortlist for the prestigious awards.
This year's nominees showcase a diverse array of talent and genres, with stars from pop, rock, indie and dance all making their mark on the awards shortlist. Big names such as Arctic Monkeys will compete with the likes of Laura Mvula for the Album Award, while newcomers such as Palma Violets, London Grammar and John Newman will scrap it out to win the Best Song Musically and Lyrically title.
But who should win? Here's our picks for the main categories. We've left out the soundtracks section, because, to be honest, we don't mind whether the music from Mr Selfridge or Ripper Street wins anything. We've never watched either.
