2018 TRILLIUM BOOK AWARD BACKGROUNDER

June 21, 2018

TRILLIUM BOOK AWARD/PRIX TRILLIUM

The Ontario government established the Trillium Book Award in 1987 to recognize the literary excellence and diversity of Ontario writers and writing. The Trillium Book Award reflects the wealth of talent and creativity of Ontario authors writing in both English and French languages. The award is open to books in any genre which makes for a rich, diverse range of fiction and non-fiction winning titles, as well as for the yearly shortlist. The award is considered the province’s foremost honour for literature.

This year’s nominees reflect the tremendous breadth, depth and diversity of Ontario authors – ranging from the well-established to those who were published for the first time, and from urban- to small-town-dwellers.

We thank the members of the English and French language juries for their dedication and hard work in reviewing the many submissions, narrowing them down to a shortlist and selecting the winning authors:

ENGLISH LANGUAGE JURY FOR TRILLIUM BOOK AWARD

ENGLISH LANGUAGE JURY FOR TRILLIUM BOOK AWARD FOR POETRY

FRENCH LANGUAGE JURY FOR TRILLIUM BOOK AWARD AND TRILLIUM BOOK AWARD FOR POETRY

Congratulations to the publishers of the Trillium winning books for their commitment to, and support, of the authors:
