The Scotiabank Giller Prize is a literary award given to a Canadian author of a novel or short story collection published in English (including translation) the previous year, selected annually by a jury. The prize was established in 1994 by Toronto businessman Jack Rabinovitch in honour of his late wife Doris Giller, a former literary editor at the Toronto Star, and is awarded in November of each year. The $100,000 prize makes it the biggest in Canadian literature.
