Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize is a Canadian literary prize that was introduced in 1985 as one of the BC Book Prizes . It is awarded annually to the best non-fiction book written by a British Columbia resident.

Like all seven other BC Book Prizes literary prizes, the award will be presented at the Lieutenant Governor's BC Book Prizes Gala this spring.

The selection criteria stipulate that the authors must have lived in British Columbia for three of the last five years, while the non-fiction book could also appear in other regions or countries. The quality of his research and the written language, as well as the originality of the material, are a quality criterion for the jury. The prize is named after the journalist and author of young books, Hubert Reginald Evans (1892–1986).
