The 3Macs carte blanche Prize is awarded once a year in recognition of an outstanding submission by a Quebec writer or translator. The 3Macs carte blanche Prize is sponsored by 3Macs, a division of Raymond James. Thanks to Mark Gallop for being the founding sponsor of the prize.
This year, the 2020 3Macs carte blanche Prize finalists will be determined by the editors of carte blanche. The winner and runner-ups will be announced at the QWF Literary Awards Gala on November 4, 2020.
