List Of Turner Prize Winners And Nominees

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Turner Prize is an annual prize presented to a British visual artist, organised by the Tate Gallery. Named after the painter J. M. W. Turner, it was first presented in 1984, and is one of the United Kingdom\'s most prestigious, but controversial, art awards. Initially, the prize was awarded to the individual who had "made the greatest contribution to art in Britain in the previous twelve months", but it now celebrates "a British artist under fifty for an outstanding exhibition or other presentation of their work in the twelve months preceding". The winner is chosen by a panel of four independent judges invited by the Tate and chaired by the director of Tate Britain. The prize is accompanied by a monetary award of GBP25,000, although the amount has varied depending on the sponsor. For example, between 2004 and 2007, while sponsored by Gordon\'s, the total prize fund was GBP40,000; GBP25,000 was awarded to the winner and GBP5,000 to the losing nominees.
