Turner Prize 2005

The Turner Prize is an annual prize given to a British visual artist under 50, for an outstanding exhibition or other presentation of their work in the twelve months preceding 9 May 2005, named after the painter J.M.W. Turner. It is organized by the Tate art gallery, and since its beginnings in 1984 it has become the United Kingdom's most publicised art award. The prize fund in 2004 was £40,000 with £25,000 being awarded to the winner and £5,000 each to the other shortlisted artists.

The four artists who have been shortlisted for the Turner Prize 2005 are Darren Almond, Gillian Carnegie, Jim Lambie and Simon Starling. The Turner Prize 2005 is supported by the makers of Gordon's.
