Emeli Sandé and the Arctic Monkeys have each been nominated for a prestigious prize at this year's Ivor Novello Awards.
Emeli is up for the PRS for Music Most Performed Work award for her song 'Clown' and she will battle Passenger's 'Let Her go' and 'Troublemaker', performed by Olly Murs and Flo Rida, for the gong.
Arctic Monkeys - fronted by Alex Turner - have been named in the Album Award category for their acclaimed LP 'AM' and will need to beat 'Push the Sky Away' by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Laura Mvula's Sing to the Moon to take home the trophy.
Other categories include Best Song Musically and Lyrically which will see Palma Violets' 'Best of Friends', John Newman's 'Love Me Again' and London Grammar's 'Strong' all nominated, while Everything Everything's 'Kemosabe', Disclosure's 'Latch' and James Blake's 'Retrograde' are all up for Best Contemporary Song.
London Grammar band member Hannah Reid is very proud the trip-hop trio are up for an Ivor because the awards are so highly regarded among musicians.
Hannah told BANG Showbiz: "It's the most prestigious, it's the one more focused on songwriting ... it's the award that everyone wants.
"When I first wrote the melody (to 'Strong') I loved it, I was actually a bit cocky about it and thought it was great. But I fell out of love with it halfway through because people kept trying to change it. But I love it again now, it's got a strong message."
The 59th Ivors - which will be held on Thursday May 22 at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London - will also honour a number of artists with awards highlighting their contribution to British music.
These special accolades include recognition for International Achievement, Lifetime Achievement, Outstanding Song Collection, PRS for Music Outstanding Contribution to British Music, PRS for Music Special International Award, The Ivors Classical Music Award, The Ivors Inspiration Award and Songwriter of the Year.

Britain's Prince William has hailed Australia as an "enormously attractive" place to live.
The 31-year-old royal, who is in the midst of an 11-day royal tour of the country with his wife Duchess Catherine, offered a glowing review of his host country while dining with the Australian prime minister Tony Abbott at a reception held at Parliament House in Canberra today (24.04.14).
Speaking at the reception, William said: "This is a country that is in the front rank internationally.
"Australia has a quality of life and a level of excellence that makes it a magnet - an enormously attractive place to live, trade, invest, and indeed just visit."
The prince and his 32-year-old wife - who are joined by their adorable nine-month-old tot Prince George in Australia - were treated to a performance by Australian singer Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu at the reception, where they also mingled with guests that included politicians, war heroes, fashion designers and Olympic athletes.
William declared there was "so much to admire" about Australia following their trek across the country and paid tribute to the indigenous aboriginal people of the country.
He is quoted by BBC News as saying: "Catherine and I acknowledge the timeless values of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
"They have been the custodians of this ancient and majestic continent for thousands of years. The traditional owners' stories, and the magnificent and moving rock art at Uluru, which we saw for ourselves, are a priceless inheritance.
"They tell us not just about the past but provide a precious vision for the future."
