Awards
The Alberta Literary Awards were created by the Writers’ Guild of Alberta in 1982 to recognize excellence in writing by Alberta authors. Entries are judged by an independent jury recruited by the Writers’ Guild of Alberta. Submissions are evaluated on originality, creativity and quality of writing, as well as appropriate fit within a category.
