	Man Booker launches international prize \| The Guardian \| Guardian Unlimited
		Worth £60,000, the Man Booker International prize will be awarded every two years and run alongside, rather than replace, the annual competition which is restricted to newly published work from the Commonwealth and Ireland.
		The new prize was not intended to be a "lifetime's achievement award", insisted John Carey, the literary critic and Merton professor of English at Oxford University, who will be the chairman of the first panel of judges.
		Unlike the Man Booker prize, where publishers submit candidates, entries for the international trophy will be chosen by three judges who will whittle their shortlist down to 15 contenders.

	Man Booker Prize - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Man Booker Prize for Fiction, also known as the Booker Prize, is one of the world's most prestigious literary prizes, awarded each year for the best original full-length novel written by a citizen of the Commonwealth or the Republic of Ireland in the English language.
		The prize was originally known as the Booker-McConnell Prize after the company Booker-McConnell began sponsoring the event in 1968, and became commonly known as the "Booker Prize" or simply "the Booker".
		When administration of the prize was transferred to the Booker Prize Foundation in 2002, the title sponsor became the investment company Man Group, which opted to retain "Booker" as part of the official title of the prize.
