The Turner Prize is a contemporary art award that was set up in 1984 to celebrate new developments in contemporary art. The purpose of the annual Turner Prize is to draw attention to new developments in the world of contemporary art in Britain and to encourage wide debate around them. Each year a jury is asked to select a shortlist of four artists, British-born or working in Britain, whose publicly exhibited work over the past year has seemed especially innovative or important. An exhibition introducing the work of each artist is then staged at Tate Britain. This broadsheet accompanies 2008 Turner Prize and highlights each of the four artists being nominated this year, Runa Islam, Mark Leckey,  Goshka Macuga and Cathy Wilkes.

 The winner of the Prize will be announced on 1 December 2008.
