Trillium Book Award
The Trillium Book Award is a Canadian literary award, which is awarded by the Government of the Province of Ontario in any year since 1987.
It is open to all genre: fiction, nonfiction, drama, children 's books and poetry. Not suitable: Anthologies, new editions, new editions and translations. Three jury members for each of the two national languages of English and French pick candidates, compile the shortlist and select the winner. The jury is made up of writers and other members of the literary community, such as publishers, literary scholar or literary critics.
Canadian citizens and naturalized immigrants who have published in Ontario over a period of three of the last five years and lived in any country, can be selected with their works. Your publishers are open to propose the respective title of the Ministry of Culture to choose from. 1993 extended the government of Prime Minister Bob Rae also the price of a French language category. In 2003, a further distinction between an English-and French-language category in the field of poetry. The following year, there were too few French-speaking candidates to elect one winner, so you went over to to organize a French-language winners for children's books or poetry in alternating years. In contrast, the winner in English Poetry is awarded annually, whereas to date no English-language winners in the category of children's books was assigned because they are subordinate to the range fiction award.
