About the Contest

HCC March Madness

HCC March Madness is an annual event that features 64 beloved books—one of which readers will crown as this year’s champion. Starting on March 1st, readers will vote in match-ups to determine which books will advance to the next round. There are 6 rounds in total, and at the end, one book will be announced the champion. The best part? It’s all determined by YOUR votes!

Looking for ways to support your favourite book? You can tweet, post, or share on social media using the hashtag #HCCMarchMadness. It’s all in good fun, so feel free to champion as many books as you’d like.

The best part of HCC March Madness? Four of YOU will take home a library of all 16 books in your favourite bracket!

Once you've voted on each match-up, you'll be asked to submit a contest entry and tell us which bracket is your favourite. You can vote every hour, but you can only enter the contest once a day. If you have any questions or concerns, please email [email protected]. Sorry, our contest is only open to Canadians, but anyone can vote.
