Writers have the power to change our lives.  They provide insight into who we are, stimulate our imaginations and challenge us to see the world in new ways. 

Now in its 20th year, the Trillium Book Award pays tribute to the best novels – and their authors – in Ontario. 

• The Trillium Book Award – awarded in both English and French – provides $20,000 for the winning authors

• The Trillium Book Award for Poetry – also awarded in English and French – provides $10,000 to the winning poets

• The Trillium Book Award for Poetry – French – is awarded every 2 years

• An award is offered in the alternate years that the Poetry French language award is not given out: the Trillium Book Award for Children’s Literature in French language.

• Book titles are nominated by the author’s publisher. 

• Three jury members, per language, judge the submissions and select the shortlists and winning titles.

Final Deadline: January 30, 2008
