The Manitoba Book Awards\/Les Prix du livre du Manitoba Enters Restructuring Period in Support of Long-term Planning<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

November 23, 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Manitoba Book Awards\/Les Prix du livre du Manitoba has been celebrating excellence in Manitoba writing, publishing, storytelling, book design and illustration for more than three decades. Over the past five years, a coalition made up of the Winnipeg International Writers Festival, Association of Manitoba Book Publishers, Winnipeg Public Library, and Manitoba Writers\u2019 Guild has been responsible for the book awards, and have worked hard to create new efficiencies while navigating emerging challenges, from pandemic disruptions to changes in available resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These challenges must be addressed, so after careful consideration, the coalition will use the 2023\/24 awards cycle as a restructuring period. This hiatus will allow the coalition to undertake some strategic planning to help identify a strong path forward. To further this initiative, the Manitoba Book Awards\/Les Prix du livre du Manitoba will not be accepting submissions this Fall; books published in 2023 will be eligible in the next cycle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The awards play a vital role in celebrating and recognizing Manitoba authors and books. The current challenges require strategic solutions, planning, and reimagining a new approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the awards\u2019 partners, sponsors, and the community at large for the support as the coalition undertakes this important phase. We look forward to sharing a renewed and vibrant Manitoba Book Awards\/Les Prix du livre du Manitoba at the end of this cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les Prix du livre du Manitoba\/Manitoba Book Awards entame une p\u00e9riode de restructuration pour soutenir la planification \u00e0 long terme<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les Prix du livre du Manitoba\/Manitoba Book Awards c\u00e9l\u00e8brent l’excellence dans les domaines de l’\u00e9criture, de l’\u00e9dition, du partage d\u2019histoires et de contes, de la conception et de l’illustration de livres au Manitoba depuis plus de trois d\u00e9cennies. Au cours des cinq derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, une coalition compos\u00e9e du Festival international des \u00e9crivain.e.s de Winnipeg, de l’Association of Manitoba Book Publishers, de la Biblioth\u00e8que publique de Winnipeg et de la Manitoba Writers’ Guild a \u00e9t\u00e9 responsable de l’attribution des prix du livre et a travaill\u00e9 fort pour optimiser les proc\u00e9dures en place tout en naviguant les d\u00e9fis \u00e9mergents, depuis les perturbations li\u00e9es \u00e0 la pand\u00e9mie jusqu\u2019aux changements dans les ressources disponibles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ces d\u00e9fis doivent \u00eatre pris en consid\u00e9ration, c’est pourquoi, apr\u00e8s un examen attentif, la coalition utilisera le cycle des prix 2023\/24 comme p\u00e9riode de restructuration. Cette pause permettra \u00e0 la coalition d\u2019entreprendre une planification strat\u00e9gique pour aider \u00e0 identifier une voie \u00e0 suivre solide. Pour poursuivre cette initiative, Les Prix du livre du Manitoba\/Manitoba Book Awards n’accepteront pas de candidatures cet automne; les livres publi\u00e9s en 2023 seront admissibles au prochain cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les prix jouent un r\u00f4le essentiel dans la c\u00e9l\u00e9bration et la reconnaissance des auteur.e.s et des livres manitobains. Les d\u00e9fis actuels n\u00e9cessitent des solutions strat\u00e9giques, une planification et une nouvelle approche r\u00e9invent\u00e9e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merci aux partenaires des prix, aux commanditaires et \u00e0 la communaut\u00e9 dans son ensemble pour leur soutien alors que la coalition entreprend cette phase importante. Nous avons h\u00e2te de partager des Prix du livre du Manitoba\/Manitoba Book Awards renouvel\u00e9s et dynamiques \u00e0 la fin de ce cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
