The winner of the £25,000 ($42,813 Cdn) prize will be announced Dec. 5.
Founded in 1984 and given annually to a Britain-based artist under 50, the prize often sparks heated debate about the value of modern art.
Named for 19th-century landscape painter J.M.W. Turner, the award helped make stars of potter Grayson Perry, shark pickler Damien Hirst and 12 Years a Slave director Steve McQueen.
