2021 Vine Awards Online Ceremony

Celebrate the winners of the 2021 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 an annual national awards program that honours both the best Canadian Jewish writers and non-Jewish Canadian authors who deal with Jewish subjects in Fiction, History, Non-Fiction, Young Adult/Children’s literature, and Poetry. Each winning author receives a prize of $10,000. Awards in all categories are given annually, with the exception of poetry that is awarded every three years. The 2021 Jury – comprised of authors Zelda Abramson, Nathan Adler and Naomi K. Lewis – reviewed 42 entries to the Fiction, History, Non-Fiction and Young Adult/Children’s categories.
