The 2020 Vine Awards Online Ceremony

Celebrate the winners of the 2020 Vine Awards for Canadian Jewish Literature in the online Awards Ceremony. Awards will be announced in four categories: Fiction, History, Non-Fiction and Young Adult/Children's – each with a prize of $10,000 – with winning authors in each category attending.

The Vine Awards for Canadian Jewish Literature is a national awards program that honours both the best Canadian Jewish writers and non-Jewish Canadian authors who deal with Jewish subjects. Each winning author receives a prize of $10,000. The 2020 Jury – comprised of authors Judy Batalion, Allan Levine, and Shani Mootoo – reviewed 55 entries to the Fiction, History, Non-Fiction and Young Adult/Children’s categories. 

The Vine Awards for Canadian Jewish Literature are made possible by a generous donation by the Lillian and Norman Glowinsky Family Foundation.
