Muse's album The Resistance has been named the best record cover of 2009.
The artwork won the 'Best Art Vinyl' prize, beating the Manic Street Preachers' Journal For Plague Lovers into second place.
Fever Ray's self-titled album was voted third best cover, with Massive Attack and Green Day making fourth and fifth place respectively.
50 vinyl record sleeves from the year were shortlisted for the prize and the winning cover will be featured in an exhibition at the Art Vinyl gallery in the Selfridges department store in London.
The sleeve for Muse's LP, which topped the album chart last September, was designed by London firm La Boca.
Previous recipients of the award include Fleet Foxes' self-titled debut album, Hard-Fi's Stars of CCTV and Thom Yorke's The Eraser.
