Turner Prize 2003

2003 marks the 20th year of the Turner Prize, widely considered to be one of the most important and prestigious awards for the visual arts in Europe. The Turner Prize was established by the Tate Patrons of New Art to promote public discussion of new developments in contemporary British art.

The £20,000 prize was presented during a live broadcast by Channel 4 on Sunday 7 December. Tate Online produced a live webcast of this programme for international audiences in conjunction with the Sponsors, Channel 4.

The Sponsor

'Channel 4's live coverage of the Turner Prize on 7 December 2003 brings one of the great cultural events of the year into our homes. And Channel 4 is proud to support an event that has, more than any other, raised the profile of contemporary art in Britain. We hope it will continue to prompt the public to attend the show to sample work that's often controversial, sometimes outrageous, but never less than fascinating.'
