Trillium Book Award
The Trillium Book Award is a Canadian literary prize , that of the Government of the Province of Ontario every year since 1987 is awarded.
It is open to books in all genres: fiction , non-fiction , drama, children's and young people's books as well as poetry . Anthologies , new editions, new editions and translations are not eligible . Three jury members for each of the two national languages English and French select the candidates, put together the shortlist and choose the winner. The jury is made up of writers and other members of the literary community such as publishers , literary scholars or literary critics .
Canadian citizens and naturalized immigrants who have lived in Ontario for a period of three of the last five years and have published in any country are eligible for their works. Your publishers are free to suggest the respective titles to the Ministry of Culture for selection. In 1993 , Prime Minister Bob Rae's government extended the award to include a French language category. In 2003 , a distinction was also made between an English- and French-speaking category in the field of poetry. In the following year, there were too few French-speaking candidates to choose a prize winner, so that a change was made to a French-speaking prize winner 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 prize winner has been awarded in the children's books category, as these are subordinate to the fiction award .
