Prior to the establishment of the prize in 2000, Beck's had sponsored several exhibitions of contemporary art in Britain by providing free beer. Together with Artangel , they had also commissioned a number of works by artists, including Rachel Whiteread 's ''House'' and ''Water Tower'' and pieces by Douglas Gordon and Tony Oursler . Although it does not receive as much publicity as the Turner Prize , the prize fund is larger - in 2003, it was £65,000 to the Turner Prize's £20,000. Of this, £20,000 went to the winner, who also took a share of the £40,000 divided between all the shortlisted artists. The remaining £5,000 was allocated to the Student Prize for Film and Video, with £2,000 of that going to the winner. WINNERS
