WANL literary awardsNewfoundland and Labrador Book AwardsWANL presents these awards in partnership with the Literary Arts Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador. These awards have been honouring excellence in Newfoundland and Labrador writing since 1997. Prizes are awarded to the best books in children's literature and fiction in one year, and in non-fiction and poetry the following year. Each category is judged by a jury of three, who each receives an honorarium. Shortlisted authors are announced in early March. During an awards ceremony at Government House in the spring, a cash prize of $1,500 is presented to the winners and a prize of $500 is presented to each runner-up. For more information, visit our Newfoundland and Labrador Book Awards page.Heritage and History Book AwardIn partnership with the Historic Sites Association, WANL presents a Heritage and History Book Award for a work of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, or young adult/children's literature that exemplifies excellence in the interpretation of the history and heritage of Newfoundland and Labrador. A shortlist is selected from among those books submitted to the Newfoundland and Labrador Awards and the winner is announced in December of that year.Fresh Fish Award for Emerging WritersThe Fresh Fish Award, presented in partnership with the Literary Arts Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador, is intended to serve as an incentive for emerging writers in Newfoundland and Labrador by providing them with financial support, recognition, and professional editing services for a book-length manuscript in any genre. The winning author will receive a cash prize of $4,000 plus the editing services of a professional editor valued at up to $1,000. The winning author will also have her or his name inscribed on a brass plaque and receive a miniature sculpture in the style of "Man Nailed to a Fish" by sculptor Jim Maunder.
