Award Increase
Saskatchewan Book Awards is very pleased to announce that award winners this year will take home a cheque for $2000, an increase of $500 over the prize
money previously offered.

"We consider this a more appropriate recognition for the best of the very
considerable literary talent in this province," said SBA President Garrett
Wilson.
