From the Man Booker site...
The 2011 longlist, ‘The Booker Dozen' - the 12 (or 13) titles under serious consideration for the prize - will be announced in late July. The shortlist of six books will be announced in early September. The winner of the 2011 Man Booker Prize will be announced on the BBC from London's Guildhall at an awards ceremony on Tuesday 18th October 2011.
...so it's not as long as I thought!
