The International Booker Prize (formerly known as the Man Booker International Prize) is an international literary award hosted in the United Kingdom. The introduction of the International Prize to complement the Man Booker Prize, as the Booker Prize was then known, was announced in June 2004.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4112179.stm|title=Readers debate world Booker prize|date=20 December 2004|publisher=BBC News|access-date=22 May 2011}} Sponsored by the Man Group, from 2005 until 2015 the award was given every two years to a living author of any nationality for a body of work published in English or generally available in English translation.{{cite news|url=http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/article6371639.ece|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110829042555/http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/article6371639.ece|url-status=dead|archive-date=29 August 2011|title=Alice Munro announced as Man Booker International Prize winner|last=Crerar|first=Simon|date=27 May 2009|work=The Times|access-date=22 May 2011}} It rewarded one author's "continued creativity, development and overall contribution to fiction on the world stage",{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4277897.stm|title=Spark heads world Booker nominees|date=18 February 2005|publisher=BBC News|access-date=22 May 2011}} and was a recognition of the writer's body of work rather than any one title.

Since 2016, the award has been given annually to a single work of fiction or collection of short stories, translated into English and published in the United Kingdom or Ireland, with a £50,000 prize for the winning title, shared equally between author and translator.{{cite web |url=http://www.thebookseller.com/news/man-booker-306625 |title='Reconfiguration' of Man Booker International Prize |work=The Bookseller |author=Sarah Shaffi |date=7 July 2015 |access-date=8 July 2015}}{{Cite web |title=The International Booker Prize and its History |url=https://thebookerprizes.com/the-international-booker-prize/the-international-booker-prize-and-its-history |access-date=2022-12-08 |website=The Booker Prizes |language=en}}

Crankstart, the charitable foundation of Sir Michael Moritz and his wife Harriet Heyman, began supporting The Booker Prizes on 1 June 2019. From this date, the prizes were known as The Booker Prize and The International Booker Prize. Of their support for The Booker Prize Foundation and the prizes, Moritz commented: "Neither of us can imagine a day where we don’t spend time reading a book. The Booker Prizes are ways of spreading the word about the insights, discoveries, pleasures and joy that spring from great fiction".

History

=Pre-2016=

Whereas the Man Booker Prize was open only to writers from the Commonwealth, Ireland, and Zimbabwe, the International Prize was open to all nationalities who had work available in English including translations.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6550001.stm|title=Atwood on World Booker shortlist|date=12 April 2007|publisher=BBC News|access-date=22 May 2011}} The award was worth £60,000 and given every two years to a living author's entire body of literature, similar to the Nobel Prize for Literature. The Man Booker International Prize also allowed for a separate award for translation. If applicable, the winning author could choose their translators to receive a prize sum of £15,000.{{cite news|first=Carmen|last=Callil|author-link=Carmen Callil|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2011/may/21/man-booker-international-carmen-callil|title=Why I quit the Man Booker International panel|date=21 May 2011|work=The Guardian|access-date=21 May 2011}}

The 2005 inaugural winner of the prize was Albanian writer Ismail Kadare. Praising its concerted judgement, the journalist Hephzibah Anderson noted that the Man Booker International Prize was "fast becoming the more significant award, appearing an ever more competent alternative to the Nobel".{{cite news|last=Anderson|first=Hephzibah|title=Alice Munro: The mistress of all she surveys|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2009/may/31/alice-munro-man-booker-prize-profile|access-date=28 May 2012|newspaper=The Guardian|date=31 May 2009}}

In July 2015 it was announced that the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize would be disbanded. The prize money from that award would be folded into the Man Booker International Prize, which would henceforth act similarly to the Independent prize: awarding an annual book of fiction translated into English, with the £50,000 prize split between author and translator.{{cite web |url=http://www.complete-review.com/saloon/archive/201507a.htm#rv1 |title=Man Booker Independent International Foreign Fiction Prize |work=complete review |author=Michael Orthofer |date=8 July 2015 |access-date=8 July 2015}} Each shortlisted author and translator receives £2,500.{{Cite web |title=The International Booker Prize and its History |url=https://thebookerprizes.com/the-international-booker-prize/the-international-booker-prize-and-its-history |access-date=2023-04-17 |website=The Booker Prizes |language=en}} Its aim is to encourage publishing and reading of quality works in translation and to highlight the work of translators.
