In 2002, the Man Group became the sponsor and they chose the new name, keeping ‘Booker’. 
 Publishers can submit books for consideration for the prize, but the judges can also ask for 
books to be submitted they think should be included. Firstly, the Advisory Committee give advice 
if there have been any changes to the rules for the prize and selects the people who will judge the 
books. The judging panel changes every year and usually a person is only a judge once. 
 Great efforts are made to ensure that the judging panel is balanced in terms of gender and 
professions within the industry, so that a writer, a critic, an editor and an academic are chosen along 
with a well-known person from wider society. However, when the panel of judges has been finalized, 
they are left to make their own decisions without any further involvement or interference from the 
prize sponsor. 
 The Man Booker judges include critics, writers and academics to maintain the consistent 
quality of the prize and its influence is such that the winner will almost certainly see the sales 
increase considerably, in addition to the £50,000 that comes with the prize.
