The artwork for The Resistance, the latest album by Muse, has been voted the best of 2009 in a new poll.
The cover for the LP, the Devon band's fifth, won the Best Art Vinyl award after fans voted online.
Released in September, The Resistance featured artwork created by London design firm La Boca and its cover will now be displayed in an exhibition at the Art Vinyl gallery in Selfridges department store in the capital.
The winning sleeves in the competition can also be viewed in galleries in east London, Birmingham and Folkestone.
Manic Street Preachers' Journal For Plague Lovers finished second in the online survey, with Fever Ray's self-titled album placing third.
Splitting the Atom by Massive Attack and Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown rounded out the top five after some 50 album sleeves from the last year had been shortlisted for the prize.
Art Vinyl director Andrew Heeps said [the award is] "a great way to celebrate the unsung heroes behind the art and design of some of our favourite bands and artists".
Fleet Foxes claimed last year's prize for their self-titled debut album while previous winners include Hard-Fi's Stars of CCTV and Thom Yorke's The Eraser.
