Jim Deva Prize for Writing that Provokes

The Jim Deva Prize for Writing That Provokes is a Canadian literary award, presented annually as part of the BC and Yukon Book Prizes. Named in memory of Jim Deva, a founder of the Little Sister's Book and Art Emporium bookstore in Vancouver, following a donation from his partner Bruce Smyth, the prize honours literature in any genre that "challenges or provokes the ideas and forces that shape what writing, art, and/or society can become".
