Description: In 1975, the Canadian Authors Association reinstated its awards for literary achievement, a program originally begun in 1937 with the creation of the Governor General's medals for literature (now overseen by Canada Council for the Arts). The primary goal in reinstating the awards program was to honour writing that achieves excellence without sacrificing popular appeal. The current awards (2014) are: CAA Award for Fiction; The Lela Common Award for Canadian History; CAA Award for Poetry and CAA Emerging Writer Award.

Further Details: There is a fee of $40 per title entered for Poetry, History and Fiction Awards. No fee for Emerging Writer Award. See more detailes at CAA webpage.
