Sunburst Award

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sunburst Award for Canadian Literature of the Fantastic (short: Sunburst Award ) is a Canadian literary award launched in 2001 . It is awarded to the best novels or short story collections from the entire field of fantasy published for the first time in English by Canadian authors last year .

The award was named after Phyllis Gotliebs debut novel "Sunburst"; Phyllis Gottlieb is one of the first contemporary Canadian SF writers whose works were published. The prize is 1000 Canadian dollars and a medallion with a sunburst logo specially designed for the award. The winners will be determined by a jury. The award ceremony takes place every autumn. The year in which the Sunburst Award is given corresponds to the year in which the prize was awarded.

At the same time, the Sunburst Award Society has been awarding the Copper Cylinder Award since 2012 based on a vote among its members .
