Hamilton Literary Awards: Finalists announced for 2015

The finalists for the 22nd Annual Hamilton Literary Awards, presented by the Hamilton Arts Council of Hamilton, Ontario, were announced last week and I'm thrilled to see a number of great youngCanLit that has been reviewed (and sadly some that I haven't read yet) on CanLit for LittleCanadians.

The following awards will be presented on December 8, 2015 at Theatre Aquarius' Dofasco Centre for the Arts:

• Hamilton Arts Council Literary Award for Poetry (sponsored by Judy Marsales Real Estate Brokerage);
• Hamilton Arts Council Literary Award for Fiction (sponsored by A Different Drummer Books);
• Hamilton Arts Council Literary Award for Non-Fiction (sponsored by Bryan Prince Booksellers); and
• The Kerry Schooley Award (sponsored by the Hamilton Spectator).


Those titles of youngCanLit which have been nominated include:
