Griffin Trust for Excellence in Poetry

A prize of $130,000 Canadian (approximately $96,268) is given annually for a poetry collection written in or translated into English by a living poet or translator from anywhere in the world and published during the previous year. Finalists receive $10,000 Canadian (approximately $7,405) each for their participation in the shortlisted authors event to be held in Toronto in June. Should the prize-winning book be a translation, 60 percent of the prize is awarded to the translator and 40 percent to the poet. Publishers may submit four copies of a book published between January 1 and June 30 by June 21. The deadline for books published during the second half of the year is December 20. There is no entry fee. Visit the website for the required entry form and complete guidelines.
