List of Turner Prize winners and nominees

This is a list of winners, and nominees for, the Turner Prize (named after the painter J.M.W. Turner), an annual prize presented to a British visual artist. It is organized by the Tate Gallery, and since its beginnings in 1984 it has become the United Kingdom's most publicised art award. Originally there was no age restriction, but it is now only open to artists under 50.
