Griffin Poetry Prize

The Griffin Poetry Prize is a Canadian poetry award. It was founded in 2000 by businessman and philanthropist Scott Griffin. As of 2023, the prize is worth CAD130,000, making it the world's largest international prize for a single book of poetry written in, or translated into English. Before 2022, two separate awards went to one Canadian and one international poet who writes in the English language. In 2022, the two awards were consolidated into a single international prize of CAD130,000. Shortlisted poets are awarded CAD10,000, and a Lifetime Recognition Award comes with an award of CAD25,000. Concurrently with the merger, the Griffin Poetry Prize also introduced a juried Canadian First Book Prize to honor the year's best debut book by a Canadian poet.
