Giller Prize Foundation
The Giller Prize Foundation is a Canadian organization that awards the Scotiabank Giller Prize, one of the country's most prestigious literary awards. Established in 1994 by Jack Rabinovitch in memory of his late wife, Dora Giller, the prize recognizes excellence in Canadian fiction. It aims to promote Canadian authors and their works, enhancing the visibility of literature in Canada.
The Giller Prize is awarded annually to a novel or short story collection published in English. The winner receives a significant cash prize, along with national recognition, which can greatly impact an author's career. The foundation also supports various literary initiatives and events to foster a love for reading and writing in Canada.
