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.

The winner is chosen by a panel of four independent judges invited by the Tate and chaired by the director of Tate Britain.
