The Booker Prize

The Booker Prize Foundation (charity no. 1090049), exists to inspire people to read the world’s best fiction. Our aim, through the Booker Prize and International Booker Prize – two of the world’s most significant book awards – as well as our scholarships and outreach in prisons, is to foster a love of reading, and to support readers and writers of the future.
