Not the Booker Prize

The Not the Booker Prize is an annual literary award presented by The Guardian. To be eligible for the Prize, books must meet all criteria for the Booker Prize. Eligible books are nominated and voted on by Guardian readers to select a shortlist. After the shortlist is selected, the books are debated on the Guardian books blog in the following weeks, and the winner is selected both by reader votes and a panel of judges.[1]
