The artwork for White Lies' album Big TV has won the Best Vinyl Art award for 2013, beating Dan Le Sac and Scroobius Pip and Bonobo to take the prize.
The oil painting, Michael Kagan's 2010 work Pilot 2, came in at the top spot ahead of the likes of Daft Punk's Random Access Memories, NEW by Sir Paul McCartney and Diving Board by Sir Elton John.
The top three designs were completed by Repent Replenish Repeat by Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip which came second, and The North Borders by Bonobo which came third.
"The band was very sincere and I could tell immediately how connected they felt to the painting and how it was important for them to use it," said winning White Lies' artist Michael Kagan, adding that it had been "a very exciting experience" to have Pilot 2 and three of his other works included as part of the Big TV sleeve and CD booklet.
Andrew Heeps, founder of the Best Art Vinyl award, said it was "interesting to see that the public prefers such a traditional artistic technique as oil on canvas".
