The '''Giller Prize''' (
Since its inception, the Giller Prize has been awarded to emerging and established authors from both small [[Small press|independent]] and large publishing houses in Canada.

===Scotiabank sponsorship controversy===
In November 2023, a month after the start of [[Israel-Hamas war|Israel's military operation in Gaza]], protestors interrupted the Giller ceremony to object to Scotiabank's sponsorship of the prize, given the bank's reported $500m investment in Israel-based arms manufacturer [[Elbit Systems]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Cramer |first1=Ella |title=Pro-Palestine protesters disrupt Canadian book prize |newspaper=The Guardian |date=14 November 2023 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/nov/14/pro-palestine-protesters-disrupt-canadian-book-prize#:~:text=The%20event%20for%20the%20C,signs%20from%20a%20protester's%20hands. |access-date=11 July 2024}}</ref> In response to their arrests, an open letter was circulated in solidarity with the protestors, which was signed by more than 2,000 people, including past winners, finalists, and jurors of the prize.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Neufeld |first1=Josiah |title=How the Giller Prizze Became Associated with Genocide |url=https://thewalrus.ca/giller-prize-genocide/ |website=The Walrus |access-date=19 July 2024 |date=13 June 2024}}</ref> By March 2024, Scotiabank had divested nearly half of its stake in Elbit Systems.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Balu |first1=Nivedita |title=Scotiabank's fund unit halved stake in Israeli weapons maker Elbit, filing shows |website=[[Reuters]] |url=https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/scotiabanks-fund-unit-halved-stake-israeli-weapons-maker-elbit-filing-shows-2024-05-14/ |access-date=19 July 2024 |date=14 May 2024}}</ref>
In July 2024, 19 authors presented a letter withdrawing their books from consideration for that year's prize and demanding the foundation pressure Scotiabank's full divestment from Elbit Systems, as well as ending the sponsorships by the Azrieli Foundation, Indigo, and Audible over their ties to Israel's occupation of Palestine. The letter was also signed by two previous winners of the prize. [[Dinaw Mengestu]]–who had was originally set to serve on the jury that year–resigned in response; the following week, the other international juror, [[Megha Majumdar]], did as well.<ref>{{cite news |last1=O’KANE |first1=JOSH |title=Authors pull books from Giller Prize consideration over sponsors' ties to Israeli interests |newspaper=The Globe and Mail |date=10 July 2024 |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books/article-author-letter-scotiabank-giller-prize-israel-elbit-systems/ |access-date=11 July 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Maimann |first1=Kevin |title=Authors pull books from Giller Prize to protest Scotiabank's investment in Israeli defence contractor |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/authors-drop-giller-prize-1.7260456 |website=CBC News |access-date=19 July 2024 |date=11 July 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=The Canadian Press |title=Second author withdraws from Scotiabank Giller Prize jury over bank's ties to Israel. |url=https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/books/second-author-withdraws-from-scotiabank-giller-prize-jury-over-banks-ties-to-israel/article_0ceafa72-1daa-5c68-a090-38fd4380f78a.html |website=Toronto Star |access-date=19 July 2024 |date=16 July 2024}}</ref> In the first quarter of 2024, Scotiabank further divested from Elbit Systems by more than $100-million; this makes for a total divestment over the previous year of more than three quarters of its total stake.<ref>{{cite web|last1=O'Kane |first1=Josh |title=Scotiabank subsidiary cuts stake in Israeli arms maker Elbit Systems |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-scotiabank-subsidiary-trims-stake-in-israeli-arms-maker-elbit-systems/ |website=Globe and Mail |access-date=30 August 2024 |date=14 August 2024}}</ref>
Covering the controversy, Marsha Lederman of ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'' noted that several other Canadian literary awards, including the [[Amazon.ca First Novel Award]] and the [[Carol Shields Prize for Fiction]], were not being targeted despite also being sponsored by companies with financial ties to Israel, and suggested that the primary reason for focusing solely on the Giller was that founder Jack Rabinovitch had been Jewish.<ref name=lederman>Marsha Lederman, [https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-can-protesting-the-giller-prize-really-help-end-the-gaza-war/ "Can protesting the Giller Prize really help end the Gaza war?"]. ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'', July 25, 2024.</ref> She also noted that the Giller Foundation does not actually have any meaningful leverage to make demands of Scotiabank, and any attempt to do so would merely result in the award not only losing Scotiabank's sponsorship, but effectively rendering itself into an unsponsorable award as no other major corporation would ever agree to the award imposing political conditions on its participation either.<ref name=lederman/> She further doubted that any of this would actually help Palestinians at all.<ref name=lederman/>
