City of Toronto Book Award

City of Toronto Book Award

The City of Toronto Book Award is a Canadian literary award, presented annually by the city of Toronto to the author of the year's best fiction or non-fiction book or books about or involving Toronto.

Each author shortlisted for the award receives $1,000, and the winner or winners receive the balance of $15,000.

The award has frequently gone to multiple winners. 1987 was the first time in the history of the award that only a single winner was named.
