The Man Booker Prize for Fiction, also known in short as the Booker Prize, is a literary prize awarded each year for the best original full-length novel, written in the English language, by a citizen of either the Commonwealth of Nations or the Republic of Ireland.

The winner of the Booker Prize will generally be assured of international fame and success. It is also a mark of distinction for authors to be nominated for the Booker longlist or selected for inclusion in the shortlist.
