MANITOBA BOOK AWARDS 2020 \/ <\/strong>LES PRIX DU LIVRE DU MANITOBA 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

On behalf of the coalition producing the 2020 Manitoba Book Awards\/Les Prix du livre du Manitoba, we are excited to share the shortlists for 11 separate awards recognizing excellence in Manitoba writing, book design, and publishing.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic weigh down upon us, we\u2019re seeing artists reach out online to keep us grounded and to lift our spirits. It\u2019s our turn to repay that favour.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pandemic means we will have to forego the gala celebration scheduled for Friday, May 15, but we will announce the winners of all the awards via media release and social media that day at 10:00am.<\/span><\/p>\n

Congratulations to all the nominees!<\/span><\/p>\n
