ELIGIBILITY

Who is eligible?

Canadian citizens, whether living in Canada or abroad, and permanent residents of Canada are eligible to enter.

Employees of CBC, Spafax Canada Inc., Canada Council for the Arts as well as their immediate family and persons living under the same roof are not eligible to enter this competition. Previously published and unpublished authors may submit texts providing that the submissions are unpublished works.

All entries must be original and unpublished works. All works that have appeared in print or on the web, including self-published works, as well as works that have been broadcast or delivered in front of a public audience are considered previously published and are therefore not eligible for the competition.

Entries must be written in English or French (works written in multiple languages and translations are not eligible).

There must be only one author per entry but entrants may submit as many entries as they wish in one or more categories. Each text may be submitted to only one category. For each manuscript entered, participants must complete a separate official entry form and pay the entry fee.
