List: The Booker Prize

The Booker Prize is awarded each year for a full-length novel, written English and published in the UK. The Booker was traditionally awarded for novels by British, Irish, and Commonwealth authors published in the UK. In 2014, the award was opened to any novel originally written in English, mostly meaning Americans became eligible.

The winner is awarded £50,000. The winner and the shortlisted authors see a significant increase in sales.
