We want to hear from you!
The Saskatchewan Book Awards is currently seeking input from stakeholders and the community. Difficult decisions for the future are being faced due to changes in operational funding.
For 28 years, the Saskatchewan Book Awards has been recognizing, celebrating, and rewarding the excellence of Saskatchewan authors and publishers. The SBA is the only provincially focused book awards program in Saskatchewan, and it is a principal ambassador for Saskatchewan's literary community.
We encourage you to fill out our survey—it only takes a few minutes to complete, and your feedback is of great value to the SBA board. The survey is open to all Saskatchewan residents, and will be available until November 30, 2021 at midnight.
