BC and Yukon Book Prizes Gala

The 42nd Annual BC and Yukon Book Prizes Gala will take place on Saturday, September 19, 2026 at 1:00 pm at the University Golf Club in Vancouver, British Columbia. Your ticket includes entry to our reception, awards ceremony, snacks, canapes, and a glass of bubbly. The venue is wheelchair accessible and free parking is available onsite.

For this year’s Gala we’re excited to have BC and Yukon Book Prize finalist and celebrated local author Danny Ramadan hosting the event. We’re also welcoming performers and student poets to the festivities as they combine poetry and drag into an amazing artistic combination.

Snacks and canapes will include a mix of hot and cold items with vegan and gluten-free offerings. There will be limited seating available at the event. Please let us know if access to seating is required.

Until September 1st, tickets are $65 for members and $75 for non-members. Ticket orders of 6 or more are $65/ticket. After September 1st, tickets for members and non-members will be $85. The deadline to purchase tickets is Friday, September 12th. Unsure if your membership is up to date? E-mail us to confirm. 

In the event that you need to cancel your order, refunds (minus service fees) will be offered until September 1st.

As stated in our entry criteria, tickets to the Gala are not provided to finalists and are generally paid for by the finalist publisher. If you are a finalist and cost is an obstacle for you to attend, please contact us.
