This award was established in 1980 by the Young Adult Caucus of the Saskatchewan Library Association and is administered by the Young Adult Services Group (YASIG). This prize is awarded to the author of an outstanding English language book for young adults (ages 13-18) published in the preceding calendar year. A CLA member from Saskatchewan is on the selection committee, and the Book Award seal, which was designed by a young adult from Regina, designates the winning title each year. The winning book must be a work of fiction (novel or collection of short stories) written by a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant published in Canada. The winner receives a leather bound book with the Award seal embossed on the cover in gold.
