Founded in 1987 by Anya Sainsbury, the Linbury Prize opens every two years to graduating designers – and this year, for the first time, it was also open to those who could demonstrate equivalent skills and experience, without the need for a degree.

So far it has helped to launch the careers of over 200 artists.
