Awards Gala
If you are in the Toronto area on Wednesday, June 13, 2012 we encourage you to attend The Canadian Christian Writing Awards Gala the night before the Write! Canada conference. The Gala is held at World Vision Canada headquarters at 1 World Drive, Mississauga, Ontario (one light north of Highway 401, just off Hurontario Street).
The premier national event honouring Canadian writers who are Christian will present awards for outstanding career achievement, and for the best novels, non-fiction books, articles, poems and scripts published in 2011.
The evening will include a catered reception following the awards presentation. You will be able to meet many of your writing colleagues, fellow members of The Word Guild and Write! Canada registrants, as well as applaud and support our best writers.
This is a black-tie event, so we are requesting tuxedos or dark suits with ties for men, formal or semi-formal wear for women. (However, don’t let wardrobe concerns keep you away, especially if you're packing light or coming from a distance; just wear your best outfit!)
The Gala organizers would love to get your help as a volunteer, either on the planning team or at the event. Contact The Word Guild to see how you can get involved.
Everyone is warmly invited to attend — members of the public, friends and relatives of the awards finalists, Write! Canada registrants, booksellers, librarians, aspiring writers and more. If you're coming to Write! Canada, you can order a ticket at the same time as you register for Write! Canada. Order additional tickets for family or friends at the same time. See the Awards Web site for more info.
Price for members of The Word Guild: $10. Price for non-members: $15 Price at the door will be $20 for everyone.
