The Canada Council for the Arts has announced finalists in 14 English- and French-language categories for this year's Governor General's Literary Awards. Category winners, who will be named November 17, receive C$25,000 (about US$19,865). The publisher of each winning book receives C$3,000 (about US$2,385) to support promotional activities, and finalists each receive C$1,000 (about US$795). A complete list of finalists is available here.
This is the second prize announcement this year. Due to the pandemic, the 2020 winners had to be named this past June. The Canada Council expects to return to its regular schedule in 2022.
