The '''Giller Prize''' (known as the '''Scotiabank Giller Prize''' from 2005-2023)<ref>Ella Creamer, [https://www.theguardian.com/books/2024/sep/11/literary-prize-drops-name-of-its-sponsor-from-title-after-protests-over-israel-arms-link "Literary prize drops name of its sponsor from title after protests over Israel arms link"]. ''[[The Guardian]]'', September 11, 2024.</ref> is a [[literary award]] given to a [[Canadians|Canadian]] author of a [[novel]] or [[short story]] collection published in [[English language|English]] (including translation) the previous year, after an annual [[Juried (competition)|juried competition]] between publishers who submit entries. The prize was established in 1994 by [[Toronto]] businessman [[Jack Rabinovitch]] in honour of his late wife [[Doris Giller]], a former literary editor at the ''[[Toronto Star]]'', and is awarded in November of each year along with a cash reward (then [[Canadian dollar|CAN$]]25,000) with the winner being presented by the previous year's winning author.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/five-vie-for-giller-prize/article20426302/|title=Five vie for Giller Prize|work=[[The Globe and Mail]]|date=September 28, 2005|access-date=September 3, 2019|language=en-ca}}</ref>

Since its inception, the Giller Prize has been awarded to emerging and established authors from both small [[Small press|independent]] and large publishing houses in Canada.

== History ==
From 1994 to 2004, the prize included a bronze figure created by artist [[Yehouda Chaki]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/a-taste-of-the-glamorous-life/article20447321/|title=A taste of the glamorous life|work=[[The Globe and Mail]]|date=April 17, 2009|access-date=September 3, 2019|language=en-ca}}</ref> The current prize includes a trophy designed by [[Soheil Mosun]].<ref>[https://thefulcrum.ca/features/the-scotiabank-giller-prize-turns-25/ "The Scotiabank Giller Prize turns 25"]. ''[[Fulcrum (newspaper)|The Fulcrum]]'', November 20, 2018.</ref>

On September 22, 2005, the Giller Prize established an endorsement deal with Canadian bank [[Scotiabank]]. The total prize package for the award was increased to $50,000, with $40,000 presented to the winning author and $2,500 each for the other four shortlisted nominees. The award's official name was also changed at that time to the Scotiabank Giller Prize.

In 2006, the prize instituted a longlist for the first time, comprising no fewer than 10 and no more than 15 titles. In 2008, the prize fund was increased to $50,000 for the winning author and $5,000 for each of the authors on the shortlist. In 2014, the prize package was expanded further, to $100,000 for the winning author and $10,000 for each of the shortlisted authors.<ref name=doubles>[https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/books/2014/09/16/giller_prize_money_doubles_to_140000.html "Giller Prize money doubles to $140,000"]. ''[[Toronto Star]]'', September 16, 2014.</ref> If a translated work wins the award, however, then the prize money is split, with 70 per cent going to the original author and 30 per cent going to the translator.<ref name=monsters>Joshua Chong and Abby O'Brien, [https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/books/giller-prize-2024-protesters-call-literary-gala-attendees-monsters-in-suits/article_66962ef0-a50c-11ef-970e-df14d62897ec.html "Giller Prize 2024: Protesters call literary gala attendees ‘monsters in suits’"]. ''[[Toronto Star]]'', November 18, 2024.</ref>

In 2015, the jury was expanded from three to five people.<ref name=jury>[http://www.scotiabankgillerprize.ca/2015-jury/ "Introducing the Five-Member Jury Panel for the 2015 Scotiabank Giller Prize"]. ''Scotiabank Giller Prize'', January 14, 2015.</ref>

Over the years, the Giller Prize has run different promotions to extend its recognition and support of Canadian literary talent<ref>The Scotiabank Giller Prize: [http://www.scotiabankgillerprize.ca/about/prize-history/ Prize History]</ref> to highlight all Canadian fiction eligible for the prize in a given publishing year. For example, the Craving CanLit feature (previously called Crazy for CanLit), which highlights the initial list of all titles that are under consideration for the award's longlist and shortlist nominations, seeks to publicize Canadian literature by engaging readers and writers through [[social media]] tools. Another online initiative started in 2021, the Giller Book Club, featuring virtual author readings and interviews, got off to a bumpy start when the inaugural offering was the victim of [[zoombombing]].<ref>[https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2021/01/04/public-zoom-interview-with-giller-prize-winner-interrupted-by-barrage-of-inappropriate-images-and-abysmal-screeching.html "Public Zoom interview with Giller Prize winner interrupted by barrage of ‘inappropriate images’ and ‘abysmal screeching’"]. ''[[Toronto Star]]'', January 5, 2021.</ref>

Since Rabinovitch's death in 2017, the Giller Prize Foundation is now overseen by his daughter Elana Rabinovitch.<ref>[https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/books/2017/11/12/elana-rabinovitch-ready-to-write-the-giller-prizes-next-chapter-govani.html "Elana Rabinovitch ready to write the Giller Prize’s next chapter: Govani"]. ''[[Toronto Star]]'', November 12, 2017.</ref>

==Cultural debate==
Following [[Vincent Lam]]'s win of the Giller Prize in 2006, ''[[Geist (magazine)|Geist]]'' columnist [[Stephen Henighan]] criticized the Giller Prize for its apparent dependency for its shortlists and winners on books published by [[Bertelsmann AG]]-affiliated Canadian publishing houses, all of which are based in [[Toronto]].

Arguing that the trend towards centralization of Canadian publishing in Toronto has led to a monopolistic control of the Giller Prize by Bertelsmann and its authors, Henighan wrote, "Year after year the vast majority of the books shortlisted for the Giller came from the triumvirate of publishers owned by the Bertelsmann Group: Knopf Canada, Doubleday Canada and Random House Canada. Like the three musketeers, this trio is in fact a quartet: Bertelsmann also owns 25 percent of [[McClelland & Stewart]], and now manages M&S’s marketing."<ref>[[Stephen Henighan]], "Kingmakers". ''[[Geist (magazine)|Geist]]'', 2006.</ref> Henighan added that all of the Giller Prize winners from 1994 to 2004, with the exception of [[Mordecai Richler]], lived within a two-hour drive of downtown Toronto.

The article raised debate within the media and in the wider public over the credibility of the Giller Prize.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/columnists/story.html?id=04acfd6b-8cd2-4e4d-9318-0efd8035aa1e |title=An anti-Giller gadfly in Guelph |access-date=2008-04-26 |author=Shinan Govani |date=2007-02-28 |newspaper=[[National Post]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070717015904/http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/columnists/story.html?id=04acfd6b-8cd2-4e4d-9318-0efd8035aa1e |archive-date=2007-07-17 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.quillandquire.com/blog/index.php/2007/01/23/canadian-literary-cabal/ |title=Secrets of the Canadian literary cabal |access-date=2008-04-26 |author=Bryony Lewicki |date=2007-01-23 |work=Quillblog |publisher=[[Quill & Quire]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080506194644/http://www.quillandquire.com/blog/index.php/2007/01/23/canadian-literary-cabal/ |archive-date=2008-05-06 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= http://torontoist.com/2007/01/are_the_gillers.php |title= Are The Gillers Rigged? |access-date=2008-04-26 |author=Ron Nurwisah |date=2007-01-23 |website=[[Torontoist]]}}</ref> Henighan revisited that article in 2015.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books-and-media/how-a-giller-prize-critic-got-invited-to-the-party/article27145924/ |title=How a Giller Prize critic got invited to the party |access-date=2015-11-18 |author=Stephen Henighan |date=2015-11-06 |newspaper=[[The Globe and Mail]]}}</ref>

In 2010, there was much talk about how small presses dominated that year’s shortlist.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/arts/books/the-giller-prize-could-this-be-the-year-of-the-small-press/article1744097/ |title= The Giller Prize: Could this be the year of the small press? |access-date=2010-10-05 |author=James Adams |date=2010-10-05 |newspaper=[[The Globe and Mail]]}}</ref> Montrealer [[Johanna Skibsrud]] won the Giller Prize that year for her novel ''[[The Sentimentalists (novel)|The Sentimentalists]]'', published by independent [[Gaspereau Press]].

In November 2023, a month after the October 7th escalation of the Gaza War, pro-Palestinian protestors interrupted the Giller ceremony to object to Scotiabank's sponsorship of the prize, given the bank's reported $500m investment in Israel-based arms manufacturer [[Elbit Systems]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Cramer |first1=Ella |title=Pro-Palestine protesters disrupt Canadian book prize |newspaper=The Guardian |date=14 November 2023 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/nov/14/pro-palestine-protesters-disrupt-canadian-book-prize#:~:text=The%20event%20for%20the%20C,signs%20from%20a%20protester's%20hands. |access-date=11 July 2024}}</ref> In response to their arrests, an open letter was circulated in solidarity with the protestors, which was signed by more than 2,000 people, including past winners, finalists, and jurors of the prize.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Neufeld |first1=Josiah |title=How the Giller Prizze Became Associated with Genocide |url=https://thewalrus.ca/giller-prize-genocide/ |website=The Walrus |access-date=19 July 2024 |date=13 June 2024}}</ref> By March 2024, Scotiabank had divested nearly half of its stake in Elbit Systems.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Balu |first1=Nivedita |title=Scotiabank's fund unit halved stake in Israeli weapons maker Elbit, filing shows |website=[[Reuters]] |url=https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/scotiabanks-fund-unit-halved-stake-israeli-weapons-maker-elbit-filing-shows-2024-05-14/ |access-date=19 July 2024 |date=14 May 2024}}</ref>

In July 2024, 19 authors presented a letter withdrawing their books from consideration for that year's prize and demanding the foundation pressure Scotiabank's full divestment from Elbit Systems, as well as ending the sponsorships by the Azrieli Foundation, Indigo, and Audible over their ties to Israel. The letter was also signed by two previous winners of the prize. [[Dinaw Mengestu]]–who had was originally set to serve on the jury that year–resigned in response; the following week, the other international juror, [[Megha Majumdar]], did as well.<ref>{{cite news |last1=O’KANE |first1=JOSH |title=Authors pull books from Giller Prize consideration over sponsors' ties to Israeli interests |newspaper=The Globe and Mail |date=10 July 2024 |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books/article-author-letter-scotiabank-giller-prize-israel-elbit-systems/ |access-date=11 July 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Maimann |first1=Kevin |title=Authors pull books from Giller Prize to protest Scotiabank's investment in Israeli defence contractor |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/authors-drop-giller-prize-1.7260456 |website=CBC News |access-date=19 July 2024 |date=11 July 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=The Canadian Press |title=Second author withdraws from Scotiabank Giller Prize jury over bank's ties to Israel. |url=https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/books/second-author-withdraws-from-scotiabank-giller-prize-jury-over-banks-ties-to-israel/article_0ceafa72-1daa-5c68-a090-38fd4380f78a.html |website=Toronto Star |access-date=19 July 2024 |date=16 July 2024}}</ref> In the first quarter of 2024, Scotiabank further divested from Elbit Systems by more than $100-million; this makes for a total divestment over the previous year  of more than three quarters of its total stake.<ref>{{cite web|last1=O'Kane |first1=Josh |title=Scotiabank subsidiary cuts stake in Israeli arms maker Elbit Systems |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-scotiabank-subsidiary-trims-stake-in-israeli-arms-maker-elbit-systems/ |website=Globe and Mail |access-date=30 August 2024 |date=14 August 2024}}</ref>

The 2024 ceremony followed a different format than previous years, being taped for later rebroadcast rather than being aired live, although organizers and the CBC attributed this to increasingly common practice for awards ceremonies (such as the [[Canadian Screen Awards]], which have also been broadcast in recent years as tape-delayed one-hour "highlights" specials rather than full live ceremonies) rather than the protests.<ref>[https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/giller-prize-boycotts-1.7386226 "Giller Prize to proceed Monday under shadow of ongoing boycotts and protests"]. [[CBC News]], November 18, 2024.</ref> Despite this, protestors still picketed the hotel where the ceremony was taking place.<ref name=monsters/>

Scotiabank's sponsorship of the prize ended in February 2025.<ref>Aisling Murphy and Josh O'Kane, [https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books/article-giller-foundation-cuts-ties-with-lead-sponsor-scotiabank/ "Giller Foundation, lead sponsor Scotiabank end partnership"].
