	Siemens: Canadian Literary Awards and Prizes, from The Encyclopedia of Literature in Canada
		Launched by the Canadian Authors Association and administered by the CAA until 1971, the awards were at first non-monetary prizes; the prestige of the prizes was complemented by a small cash award of $250 in 1951, to be increased in 1966 to $2,500, in 1975 to $5,000, and in 1989 to $10,000.
		First awarded in 1976, and suspended as of 1995, this prize ($3,000 and a 4-week author's tour of the other country) is intended to familiarize the reading audience of each sponsoring country with the writers of the other.
		Awarded, variously, for excellence in poetry, prose, and drama, as well as for young writers; the last year of presentation was 1995.
