Gulbenkian Prize
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gulbenkian Prize, now called the ArtFund Prize,[1] is an annual prize awarded to a museum or gallery in the United Kingdom for a "track record of imagination, innovation and excellence". A single award of £100,000, Britain's biggest single art prize,[2] is presented to a museum or gallery, large or small, anywhere in the UK, whose entry, in the opinion of the judges, best demonstrates a track record of imagination, innovation and excellence through work mainly undertaken during the previous calendar year.[3] The prize money is £100,000, and was first awarded in 2003.[3] The principal sponsor is the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation of Lisbon, Portugal.
