The Shaunt Basmajian Chapbook Award, established in 1996, was an annual prize given by the Canadian Poetry Association. It was named in memory of Shaunt Basmajian, a founder of the association. It was an annual manuscript publication competition and award. The contest was open to members and non-members alike and was administered by the Wayne Ray and the Writers Resource Center in London, Ontario as of November each year.
