Every other year, the prize leaves Tate Britain and is presented at a venue outside London. For 2015, that venue will be Tramway in Glasgow, an international art-space renowned for commissioning, producing and presenting contemporary arts projects.

The shortlisted artists are:

The Turner Prize award is £40,000, with £25,000 going to the winner and £5,000 each for the other shortlisted artists.
