Giller Prize Project

The Giller Prize, founded in 1994, is a literary prize which recognizes excellence in Canadian fiction in long format or short stories. The largest annual prize for fiction in the country, the Scotiabank Giller Prize awards $50,000 to the author of the best Canadian novel or short story collection published in English and $5,000 to each of the finalists.

  1. This is something I've had in the back of my mind to do for a while as well. Read all the Giller winners and shortlisted books, that is. I really should try to fit some of them in this year.
