Folio Prize

The Folio Prize, also known as The Literature Prize, is a literary award that was sponsored by the London-based publisher The Folio Society for its first two years 2014-2015. It is seeking a new sponsor for 2016 after the Folio Society dropped sponsorship. No sponsor was found for 2016, they hope to have one by 2017.
==Folio Prize==

The Folio Prize was given to an English-language book of fiction published in the UK by an author from any country. The first award was in March of 2014. The jury for the prize was called the Academy, the first academy included Margaret Atwood, Peter Carey, A.S. Byatt and J.M. Coetzee. The prize remuneration was . It was initially called the "Literature Prize" as a placeholder until a sponsor could be found, then the Folio Prize, named for the Folio Society, a publisher of special editions of classic literature.〔
Books were nominated by members of the Academy, three each, ranked. There were about 100 members in the Academy. Points were given to each book depending on how many first second or third rankings it earned. The top scoring books were made into a longlist of 60 books. To those were added 20 that have been nominated by publishers. The list of 80 was then judged by five members of the Academy (themselves randomly selected each year) who then selected a shortlist of eight and the final winner.〔〔〔〔
The prize came into being after a group in Britain "took umbrage at the direction they saw the Booker Prize taking – they saw it leaning toward popular fiction rather than literary fiction." The prize was compared as a rival of the Man Booker Prize by the media. Margaret Atwood said the Folio Prize is "much needed in a world in which money is increasingly becoming the measure of all things."〔 Mark Haddon said it was "not a mechanism for generating publicity by propelling a single book into the spotlight but a celebration of literary fiction as a whole."
