The Gerald Lampert Memorial Award is an annual award presented by the League of Canadian Poets. It goes to the best volume of poetry published by a first time poet. It is presented in honour of poetry promoter Gerald Lampert. Each winner receives an honorarium of $1000.
Awards are presented in six categories for works in the crime genre published for the first time in the previous year by authors living in Canada, regardless of their nationality, or by Canadian writers living outside of Canada.
The awards are administered by a steering committee composed of representatives from the Halifax Regional Library, the Halifax Regional Municipality and members of the community.
The Pat Lowther Memorial Award is given for a book of poetry by a Canadian woman published in the preceding year, and is in memory of the late Pat Lowther, whose career was cut short by her untimely death in 1975.
