About the International Booker Prize |
|
The International Booker Prize is the leading literary award in the English speaking world, and has brought recognition, reward and readership to outstanding fiction for over five decades. The International Booker Prize is awarded annually for a single book, translated into English and published in the UK or Ireland. This prize aims to encourage more reading of quality fiction from all over the world, and has already had an impact on those statistics in the UK. The vital work of translators is celebrated, with the £50,000 prize money divided equally between the author and translator. Each shortlisted author and translator also receives £2,500. |
