Booker Prize winners
In 1968, Booker-McConnell was a company that sponsored what was called the "Booker Prize," 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.
In 2002, the administration of the prize was transferred to the Booker Prize Foundation, the title sponsor became the investment company Man Group, which titled the award as the Man Booker Prize. The prize money awarded with the Booker Prize was originally £21,000, and was subsequently raised to £50,000 in 2002 under the sponsorship of the Man Group.
