The International Booker Prize 2026 - shortlist digital display packs
  • Free promotional materials for libraries to celebrate the 2026 shortlist

The International Booker Prize is the world’s most influential award for translated fiction. In championing works from around the world that have originated in a wide range of languages, it fosters an engaged global community of writers and readers whose experiences and interests transcend national borders. Find out more about the shortlist.

In 2026, the Booker Prize Foundation is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the prize in its current form. The first winner in 2016 was The Vegetarian by Han Kang, translated from Korean by Deborah Smith. Since then, it has promoted 10 winners in 10 original languages from Arabic to Polish, Bulgarian to Kannada. Four authors recognised by the International Booker Prize have gone on to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, including Han Kang, Jon Fosse, Annie Ernaux and Olga Tokarczuk. The prize has also helped to drive a boom in translated fiction in the UK: sales have doubled since it launched.

This year’s International Booker Prize campaign is called ‘Fiction beyond borders’. It’s a celebration of the way translated fiction opens us up to different experiences and perspectives, creating connections across continents. Readers from around the world are invited to come together and explore this year’s nominated books – and the previous 10 winners – united by a shared love of great fiction.
