The Sunburst Award Committee is pleased to announce an award for Canadian young adult (YA) literature of the fantastic, starting in 2008. The eligibility requirements of the YA award are the same as for the adult award except for the age of the audience to which the work is addressed. The winner of the annual YA award will also receive a medallion and prize of $1,000.

In addition, the Committee is happy to announce that jurors will henceforth receive an honorarium of $500.
