The Goodman Writer's Grant

A grant of $4,000 is available to assist an emerging writer, administered by the Canada Iceland Foundation. The subject of the work must be about the Icelandic-Canadian presence, its history or otherwise be related to the author's connection to an Icelandic and/or Icelandic-North American theme. This grant will be awarded to a new recipient in each of the five years, 2021 to 2025. The work must be written in the English language with the intention of publication and can be in the style of the writer's choice (novel, treatise, collection of poems, historical documentation, etc.). The work may be completed or uncompleted, but if uncompleted, the author should provide sufficient content to clearly demonstrate the character of the finished work. The grant recipient should be prepared to provide acknowledgement of the grant support upon publication. Due to this award being administered through a Canadian registered charity, only Canadian citizens are eligible to apply.
