WRITERS' TRUST OF CANADA'S MATT COHEN PRIZE Established in 2001 by The Writers' Trust of Canada and a group of anonymous donors, the Matt Cohen Prize is given for a lifetime of distinguished work by a Canadian writer, working in either poetry or prose, writing in either French or English who has dedicated his or her life to writing as a primary pursuit. Valued at $20,000, it is one of the richest literary awards in the country. Named for Matt Cohen who died in December 1999 at the age of 56.

Writers are judged on their body of work – judged to be no less than three works of literary merit which are predominantly fiction – rather than a single book. All Canadian writers will be considered and no age restrictions will apply. Go to Writers' Trust Notable Author Award website 2008 Michael Winter

All Canadian male writers will be considered and no age restrictions will apply. The $15,000 prize will serve as a complement to the already existing Marian Engel Award honouring a female writer in mid-career. Announced in March for the previous year. In 2008, this award was merged into the Writers' Trust Notable Author Award.
