CBC will be the official broadcast partner for the 2011 Scotiabank Giller Prize and we'll be celebrating some of the best Canadian fiction of 2010 and 2011 with some great contests with fantastic prizes.

First up is our Readers' Choice contest. This year you can make a difference by nominating a book for the Scotiabank Giller Prize longlist. Explore this year's eligible books and let us know which one you believe deserves to be considered for the $50,000 award.

CBC Books will tally your nominations. The book that garners the most nominations will be added to the official longlist, which will be announced on September 6, 2011. Submit your selection by filling out the CBC Books nomination form by midnight ET on August 28.

Not only will you get a say in the Scotiabank Giller Prize 2011 longlist, we have some fantastic prizes to give away, courtesy of Scotiabank and Kobo! We'll hold a weekly draw for a Kobo eReader prize package from all the submitted nominations. You only get to enter once, but your name will be entered in the Kobo eReader draw every week for an additional chance to win.

All contest entrants will also be entered into a random draw for the spectacular grand prize: a trip for two adults to the 2011 Scotiabank Giller Prize gala in Toronto on November 8, courtesy of Scotiabank. This includes two nights accommodation at the Four Seasons Hotel, $1,000 in spending money and a $200 voucher for dinner at Nota Bene, one of the city's most acclaimed restaurants.
