Премия «Солнечный Всплеск» за канадскую фантастическую литературу

Annual literary award
'The Sunburst Award for Canadian Literature of the Fantastic is an annual award given for a speculative fiction novel or a book length collection.

The name of the award comes from the title of the first novel by Phyllis Gotlieb, Sunburst (1964). The first award was given out in 2001. The award consists of a cash prize ($1,000 Canadian for novel length work, and $500 Canadian for short stories) and a medallion. The winner is selected by jury; a new jury is struck each year. On June 2, 2020, the Sunburst award society announced the awards were going on a hiatus due to impacts related to COVID 19.

Prior to 2008, the Sunburst Award was presented in a single category. In later years, it was broken down into two or three categories, including adult, young adult, and short story. +General Sunburst Award winnersYearAuthorResultResultRef.2001GalvestonWinner2002When Alice Lay Down with PeterWinner2003Skin FolkWinner2004Winner2005AirWinner2006In the Palace of ReposeWinner2007Fabrizio's ReturnWinner
