The bpNichol Chapbook Award was established in 1984,to encourage and inspire Canadian poets and new poetry. Each year, $1000 is awarded to the best poetry chapbook in English, published in Canada.
This will be the first time we announce and present the award at a celebratory dinner & fundraiser. It will be a fun evening of food, entertainment, selected poetry readings and a silent auction. Admission is $75 per person and includes a 3-course dinner (of that amount, $50 is eligible for a receipt for income tax purposes.) All proceeds will go directly toward increasing the amount of the award, establishing a 2nd and 3rd prize, and raising awareness of bpNichol and chapbook poetry. Emcee, Luciano Iacobelli.
