2024 TRILLIUM BOOK AWARD FINALISTS

Ontario Creates is proud to present the finalists for the 2024 Trillium Book Awards, the province’s most prestigious literary prizes for English and French-language Ontario authors. 

Now in its 37th year, Trillium has a long tradition of recognizing literary excellence, and promoting the diversity of Ontario writers and their work. This year, 13 titles are nominated in 3 categories, across all genres, in English and French.

This year’s finalists explore the intricacies of personal relationships; they guide us on a quest to find belonging; they share with us the grief of a personal loss; and reveal to us the essence of being human. In short, they answer the question of what it means to be alive.

Congrats to the authors and their publishers on their nomination!

The Trillium Book Award/Prix Trillium winners will be announced during an award ceremony on June 20, 2024. We invite you to visit our webpage to learn more about these exceptional titles and add to your summer reading list!

ON the Road to the JUNOS

Congratulations to Ontario artist Nonso Amadi on his JUNO nomination for Contemporary R&B Recording of the Year!

"This is my first nomination ever for a JUNO, so it means a lot to be here. It is such a symbolic award for Canada and Canadian artists."

Watch his 'ON the Road to the JUNOS' video to learn more about Nonso's musical journey.

Congratulations to Ontario duo Softcult on their first JUNO nomination for Alternative Album of the Year!

"For us, it's very validating to be nominated. We write and record everything ourselves, we film all our own music videos - so everything we do is very DIY - and to be recognized by the JUNOS, it just feels like we're being seen and appreciated."

Watch their 'ON the Road to the JUNOS' video to learn more about this multi-talented duo and their musical journey.

Congratulations to Ontario band Good Kid on their first JUNO nomination for Breakthrough Group of the Year!

"Ontario definitely influences our music, partly because a lot of the bands that influence our band are from here, and we get to meet them, play with them, hang out."

Watch their 'ON the Road to the JUNOS' video to learn more about Good Kid's journey to nomination.

Congratulations to Ontario artist Logan Staats on his first JUNO nomination for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year!

"There was one place that I knew that I belonged – and it was inside of a song."

Watch his 'ON the Road to the JUNOS' video to learn more about Logan's inspiring musical journey.

Congratulations to Ontario artist Luna Elle on her first JUNO nomination for Traditional R&B / Soul Recording of the Year!

"Music helps me get through everything. I honestly don't know what I would do without music. I feel like life would be so bland."
