Award Winners
Man Booker Prize
The Man Booker Prize is also known as the “Booker Prize’ and is awarded annually. The novel must be an original work in English (not a translation) and be written by a citizen of either the Commonwealth or the Republic of Ireland. The prize was originally known as the ‘Booker-McConnell Prize’ after the company sponsoring the event, and was first awarded in 1968. Winning the Man Booker Prize is the ultimate accolade for many writers, and every year the Man Booker Prize winner is guaranteed a huge increase in sales.
