The Ann Connor Brimer Award for Atlantic Canadian Children's Literature is a $2,000 annual award given to an Atlantic Canadian writer deemed to have made an outstanding contribution to literature for young people. Starting in 2016, the prize alternates annually between young adult and children's fiction published in the previous two years. In celebration of the award's 25th anniversary, Gavin Brimer, Ann's son, generously donated two $250 prizes for the running-up books.
The Ann Connor Brimer Award is administered by The Ann Connor Brimer Award Society. Nomination information can be found on the websites of the Atlantic Book Awards and the Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia.
The award is named for Ann Elisabeth Connor Brimer. Brimer was a teacher, as well as executive director of the Canadian Learning Materials Centre, a research associate with the Atlantic Institute of Education, a program coordinator in continuing education at Dalhousie University, a founding member of the Nova Scotia Coalition on Arts and Culture, as well as the Atlantic Officer for the Canadian Children's Book Centre.
The award is generously supported by members of the Brimer family along with donations from the general public. Donations to the Ann Connor Brimer Award can be directed to the Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia (writers.ns.ca)
