CAA Vicky Metcalf Awards

…honouring writing inspirational to Canadian youth…

Award History | Winners 1963–2001

History

The Vicky Metcalf Awards were created in 1963 by the Toronto librarian whose name they bear. There were three separate awards:

• A $10,000 cash prize for a body of work, whether fiction, non-fiction, poetry or picture books.
• A $3,000 cash prize for a short story published in an English-language periodical or anthology.
• A $1,000 cash prize to the editor responsible for publishing the prize-winning short story, if published in a Canadian periodical or anthology.

Chief Aim of the Awards

"The prizes are given solely to stimulate writing for children by Canadian writers," said Mrs. Metcalf when she established the awards. "We must encourage the writing of material for Canadian children without setting any restricting formulas."

Managed by the CAA 1963–2001

This award was suspended by the CAA in 2002. The Vickie Metcalf Award for a body of work is now being administered by The Writers Trust.
