Booker Prize

British literary award established in 1969

The Booker Prize, formerly the Booker Prize for Fiction (1969โ€“2001) and the Man Booker Prize (2002โ€“2019), is a prestigious literary award conferred each year for the best single work of sustained fiction written in the English language, which was published in the United Kingdom and/or Ireland. The winner of the Booker Prize receives ยฃ50,000, as well as international publicity that usually leads to a significant sales boost. When the prize was created, only novels written by Commonwealth, Irish, and South African citizens were eligible to receive the prize; in 2014, eligibility was widened to any English-language novelโ€”a change that proved controversial.
