Booker Prize

The Booker Prize is a prestigious literary award given annually to the best single work of sustained fiction written in the English language, published in the UK and/or Ireland. The winner receives £50,000 and international publicity, and the prize was previously restricted to Commonwealth, Irish, and South African citizens before widening to any English-language novel in 2014. A five-person panel selects the winning book, and the chief executive of the Booker Prize Foundation is Gaby Wood.learn more on wikipedia
