Booker Prize

The Booker Prize was formerly known as the Booker Prize for Fiction (1969–2001) and the Man Booker Prize (2002–2019)

The prize is now sponsored by Crankshaft, and the winner receives £50,000

In 1992, after the prize was shared for a second time, a rule was introduced that made it mandatory for the appointed jury to make the award to just a single author/book. This rule was broken in 2019 when the prize was again shared

Historically, the winner of the Booker Prize had been required to be a citizen of the Commonwealth of Nations, the Republic of Ireland, or Zimbabwe. It was announced in 2013 that future Booker Prize awards would consider authors from anywhere in the world, so long as their work was in English and published in the UK

Lost Man Booker Prize was a special edition of the Man Booker Prize awarded by a public vote in 2010 to a novel from 1970 as the books published in 1970 were not eligible for the Man Booker Prize due to a rules alteration. Won by Troubles by JG Farrell

A ‘Best of Beryl’ prize was set up in 2006 for Beryl Bainbridge, who had been nominated five times without winning. The prize was won by Master Georgie
