Olivia Dean, Lola Young, Lily Allen, Coldplay, CMAT and Florence + the Machine are among the top nominees for the 71st annual Ivor Novello Awards, honoring songwriters and composers and taking place May 21 in London.

“Peer-judged by songwriters and composers,” the announcement reads, the Ivors honor “the craft, originality and cultural impact of songs and screen compositions.” Honorees since the awards were launched in 1956 include including Paul McCartney, Adele and Elton John, as well as American artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson and Bill Withers.
