Hahah.  There are two paths to the decline and destruction of civilization:  
One 
is to dismantle all traditions and standards of excellence; the other is to 
forbid any deviation from traditions and standards of excellence.  Take your 
pick.  The results are the same.

Subject: "...Is intended to promote public discussion of new  developments in 
contemporary British art."

Shouldn't the mission statement of the Turner Prize instead be:

- ...Is intended to promote excellence by recognizing an artist who has
maintained standards and managed to preserve norms.
