Governor General's Literary Awards
The Canada Council for the Arts announced the winners of the 2001 Governor General's Literary Awards.
Winners 2002 English | Winners 2002 French | Past Winners | Literature Awards Canada
The Governor General's Literary Awards winners are chosen by independent peer juries in each category (seven English and seven French), appointed by the Canada Council for the Arts. The juries, which meet separately, consider all eligible books published between the previous September 1st through September 30th of the current year, for English-language books and between the previous July 1st and June 30th of the current year for French-language books.
The awards are presented by the Governor General of Canada and the Chairman of the Canada Council for the Arts.
The winners each receive a check for $15,000 (an increase from the previous $10,000) and a specially-crafted copy of the winning book. The Governor General will also present certificates to the publishers of the prize-winning books.
Since 1998, the Canada Council for the Arts has awarded a $3,000 grant to the publishers of the winning works to support special promotional activities such as posters, bookmarks, promotional tours and advertising initiatives.
