Independent Foreign Fiction Prize Award
Awards Type : InterNational Award

First Award : 1990
The Independent Foreign Fiction Prize (1990-2015) was a British literary award. It was inaugurated by British newspaper The Independent to honour contemporary fiction in translation in the United Kingdom. The award was first launched in 1990 and ran for five years before falling into abeyance. It was revived in 2001 with the financial support of Arts Council England. Beginning in 2011 the administration of the prize was taken over by Booktrust, but retaining the "Independent" in the name. In 2015, the award was disbanded in a 'reconfiguration' in which it was merged with the Man Booker International Prize.
