The Scotiabank Giller Prize is a prestigious literary award in Canada, established in 1994. It honors the best Canadian fiction published in English during the previous year. The prize aims to promote Canadian literature and recognize outstanding authors, contributing to the visibility of their work. Each year, a panel of judges selects a shortlist of nominated books, culminating in a winner announcement in November. The winner receives a cash prize, which significantly boosts their profile and sales. The award is named after Dorothy Giller, the late wife of businessman Jack Giller, who funded the prize.
