Judging
Crime Writers of Canada recruits thirty volunteers and five alternate jurors from among the large body of award-winning writers, reviewers, booksellers, librarians, academics, and avid crime fiction fans across Canada. The judges are not required to be CWC members, and many are not. The judges, therefore, represent a broad and knowledgeable cross-section of the reading public. Three judges read and evaluate the entries in each of the ten prize categories. Finalists in all categories are announced in late April, and winners are announced in late May.
If you would like to volunteer as a judge, please contact: awards@crimewriterscanada.com
