The Not the Booker Prize was an annual literary award presented by The Guardian. Books eligible for the Booker Prize were nominated and voted on by Guardian readers to select a shortlist. After the shortlist was selected, the books were debated on the Guardian books blog in the following weeks, with the winner selected both by reader votes and a panel of judges.
The prize was last awarded in 2020.
