The prize is awarded by a panel of judges, which often includes notable authors, critics, and scholars. Winning the Booker can significantly boost a book's sales and the author's career. There’s also a separate category, the International Booker Prize, which honors a work translated into English, highlighting global literature. The prize emphasizes quality storytelling and the importance of literature in culture.
