| Unlike the Turner Prize, which has a cut-off point of 50, there is no age limit for the Northern Arts Prize – Margaret Harrison, for example, was born in Wakefield in 1940. An exhibition of her's in London, which included a depiction of Hugh Hefner squeezed into a "bunny girl" costume, was closed down by the police in 1971, before most of the other shortlisted artists were born. | Unlike the Turner Prize, which has a cut-off point of 50, there is no age limit for the Northern Arts Prize – Margaret Harrison, for example, was born in Wakefield in 1940.

| The shortlist reflects the breadth of artists nominated in terms of both generation and choice of media. They range from the drawings, watercolours and installations of Margaret Harrison, who has lived and worked in the North for several decades, through to Rosalind Nashashibi who studied in the North and recently returned to the area having established an international reputation. Emily Speed's sculptures and performance works are evidence of the strength of the burgeoning young art scene in the North, and Tatham & O'Sullivan's work reflects the predominance of conceptual and multi-media approaches in the submissions. | The shortlist reflects the breadth of artists nominated in terms of both generation and choice of media.
