The Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize for Nonfiction is a Canadian literary award, presented annually by the Writers' Trust of Canada to the best work of non-fiction by a Canadian writer. Canada's most lucrative non-fiction prize, the winner receives a prize of {{currency|60000|CAD}} and all finalists receive {{currency|5000|CAD}}.[1][2] Sponsorship historyFirst established in 1997, the award's original corporate sponsor was Viacom. Pearson Canada, an educational book publishing company, took over the award in 1999, and Nereus Financial, a stock brokerage, became the sponsor from 2006 to 2008. After Nereus dropped its sponsorship, the award had no corporate sponsor until 2011,[3] when philanthropist and former Lieutenant Governor of Ontario Hilary Weston was announced as the award's new sponsor.[1] Prior to Weston's patronage of the award, the prize was {{currency|15000|CAD}} for the winner and {{currency|2000|CAD}} for the finalists.
