The Giller Prize (formerly the Scotiabank Giller Prize) is one of Canada's most prestigious literary prizes. The monetary prize is awarded every November to an English Canadian novel or short-story collection.
Past winners include internationally-acclaimed authors such as Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro, Michael Ondaatje, Madeleine Thien, Austin Clarke and Mordecai Richler. Winning authors frequently become members of the jury in subsequent years.
