Manitoba Book Awards Shortlists 2015
The Shortlists Are In! The Manitoba Writers’ Guild and the Association of Manitoba Book Publishers are proud to announce the shortlists for the 2015 Manitoba Book Awards (MBA)! We are especially excited to share the nominees for two brand new additions to the MBA: the Beatrice Mosionier Aboriginal Writer of the Year Award, and the Chris Johnson Award for Best Play by a Manitoba Playwright. The Beatrice Mosionier Aboriginal Writer of the Year Award, sponsored by the Centre for Creative Writing and Oral Cultures at the University of Manitoba, will be awarded annually, and the Chris Johnson Award for Best Play by a Manitoba Playwright, sponsored by the Manitoba Association of Playwrights (MAP) and Winnipeg theatres, will be awarded every two years. Both awards will be presented for the first time at the 2015 Gala. This year, we will also be presenting Le Prix littéraire Rue-Deschambault, which is presented biennially for the best French book written by a Manitoba writer.
