It's that time of year already.
Undoubtedly the biggest awards ceremony in the land, the build up to the BRIT Awards 2015 has already begun.
In keeping with BRITs tradition, a modern designer has been brought in to craft 2015's statuette. Following in the footsteps of Damien Hirst, Sir Peter Blake and Vivienne Westwood, Tracey Emin is due to design the next trophy.
It's a bold move. A highly controversial artist, Tracey Emin is one of the most enduring talents to emerge from the BritArt era.
Speaking about her involvement Emin said: "I was thrilled to be asked to rework the BRITs trophy. It's so nice as a visual artist to have an involvement with the creative side of the music industry and it's such a sweet celebration of the amazing talent we have in Britain today."
BRITs Chairman Max Lousada said: "Tracey is one of the UK's most prominent fine artists and we are delighted that she has agreed to re-work the 2015 BRITs trophy. Having her on board means that we enter a fifth year of iconic and uniquely designed BRIT statues, and with British creativity very much at the heart of the event, it's fitting that Tracey takes the baton and continues this tradition."
Tracey Emin's BRIT Award trophy is set to be unveiled shortly.
