The Booker-Open Russia Literary Prize, sometimes known as the Russian Booker Prize, is a Russian literary award modelled after the Booker Prize and inaugurated in 1992. Now established as the mehr anzeigen country's premier literary prize, it is awarded to the best work of fiction written in the Russian language each year as decided by a panel of judges, irrespective of the writer's citizenship. Since 2002 Open Russia has been the general sponsor of the Booker Literary Prize in Russia, leading to its name change into the "Booker–Open Russia Literary Prize". The structure of the Booker-Open Russia is similar to the Commonwealth Booker Prize. Each year, the jury of the contest chooses from among all the participants (the so-called "long list") six best novels which forms a "short list". The eventual winner wins a cash prize of US$15,000 (originally US$12,500 until 2002), while each of the shortlisted finalist earns US$1,000. weniger anzeigen
