The Man BookerPrize for Fiction, also known as simply the BookerPrize, is one of the world's most prestigious literary prizes, and awarded each year for the best original full-length novel written by a citizen of the Commonwealth or the Republic of Ireland in the English language.
The prize was originally known as the Booker-McConnell Prize, after the company Booker-McConnell plc began sponsoring the event in 1968, and became commonly known as the "BookerPrize" or simply "the Booker".
When administration of the prize was transferred to the BookerPrize Foundation in 2002, the title sponsor became the investment company Man Group plc, which opted to retain "Booker" as part of the official title of the prize.
