Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize
# Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize

Der Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize ist ein kanadischer Literaturpreis, der 1985 als einer der BC Book Prizes eingeführt wurde. Mit seiner Vergabe wird alljährlich das beste Sachbuch eines Einwohners von British Columbia geehrt.

Der Preis wird wie alle anderen sieben Literaturpreise der BC Book Prizes bei der Lieutenant Governor’s BC Book Prizes Gala im Frühjahr überreicht.

Die Auswahlkriterien sehen vor, dass die Autoren drei der letzten fünf Jahre in British Columbia gewohnt haben müssen, während das Sachbuch auch in anderen Regionen oder Ländern erscheinen konnte. Die Qualität seiner Recherche und der Schriftsprache sind ebenso wie die Originalität des Stoffes ein Qualitätskriterium für die Jury. Der Preis wurde nach dem Journalisten und Jugendbuchautor Hubert Reginald Evans (1892–1986) benannt.
