Scotiabank Giller Prize

The Scotiabank Giller Prize is a prestigious Canadian literary award established in 1994. It recognizes outstanding Canadian fiction by awarding $100,000 to the author of the best novel or short story collection published in the previous year. The prize aims to promote Canadian writing and support Canadian authors, highlighting literary excellence and encouraging diverse storytelling. Each year, a jury of prominent writers and literary figures selects the winner from a shortlist of five finalists, drawing national and international attention to Canadian literature.
