Description:
Established in 2007, the grant is presented to an emerging Canadian gay or lesbian writer who demonstrates great promise through a body of work of exceptional quality. Writers who identify themselves as gay or lesbian are eligible and while no age restriction exists, the grant is intended for developing writers. The winner, selected by a three-member, independent judging panel, is presented with the prize annually during Pride Week in Toronto. The grant was established by Robin Pacific, a close personal friend of Dayne Ogilvie. Mr. Ogilvie was a highly respected freelance book editor, writer, and manager. A passionate lover of all the arts, he died in October 2006.
