The Marian Engel Award $15,000
Sponsored by the Writers' Trust of Canada

The Marian Engel Award was established by the Writers' Trust to honour the memory of one of Canada's most beloved and respected writers. Marian Engel won the Governor General's Literary Award for Fiction in 1976 for her novel, Bear, and was the first chair of the Writers' Union of Canada in 1973-74. The award is presented once a year to a female Canadian writer, not for a single book, but for a body of work and in anticipation of her future contribution to Canadian literature.
