Before 2022, two separate awards went to one Canadian and one international poet who writes in the English language.[1] In 2022, the two awards were consolidated into a single international prize of CAD$130,000.[2] Shortlisted poets are awarded CAD$10,000, and a Lifetime Recognition Award comes with an award of CAD$25,000.
Concurrently with the merger, the Griffin Poetry Prize also introduced a juried Canadian First Book Prize to honor the year's best debut book by a Canadian poet.[3]
