Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Manitoba Books Awards/Les Prix du livre du Manitoba was the premiere annual book awards for Manitoba, Canada from 1988 to 2023. Originating in 1988, an award gala was usually held in April in Winnipeg, Manitoba, celebrating the best of Manitoba writing and publishing from the previous year.
Depending on the year, there were several awards conferred, as some of the awards were only bestowed biannually. The awards were co-produced by the Association of Manitoba Book Publishers and the Manitoba Writers' Guild. Awards include the Eileen McTavish Sykes Award for Best First Book, the Margaret Laurence Award for Fiction, the Carol Shields Award for best Winnipeg book, the Mary Scorer Award for Best Book by a Manitoba Publisher, the Alexander Kennedy Isbister Award for Non-Fiction, the McNally Robinson Book of the Year Award and others. Past winners include Miriam Toews, David Bergen, Joan Thomas, W.P. Kinsella, Carol Shields and others.
