The Booker Prize (previously known as the Man Booker Prize) is awarded annually to the best novel of the year written in English and published in the UK or Ireland.
In 2015, after the rules of the original Booker Prize expanded to allow writers of any nationality to enter - as long as their books were written in English and published in the UK - the International Prize evolved to become the mirror image of the English-language prize. Since then it has been awarded annually for a single book, written in another language and translated into English.
Winners are usually announced in October or November.
