Established in 2017 “to support and nurture the work of Indigenous writers in lands claimed by Canada,” the initial fundraising efforts led by Robin Parker and Silvia Moreno-Garcia generated C$116,565 in four months. Each year the prizes fluctuate depending on available funds. This year they awarded C$39,000 and received record-breaking submissions.
