On November 10, 2025, QWF will award one to three prizes totalling $3,000 to honour excellence in spoken word as a literary art. The prize is open to Quebec-based spoken word artists, storytelling artists, and literary performance artists working primarily in English in any form of performative writing, including poetry, story, monologue, hip hop, dub, sound poetry, experimental, or interdisciplinary work.
All finalists will be invited to perform at a showcase co-presented by SpokenWeb and their videos will be preserved online via the SpokenWeb Archive of the Present.
