Londons Victoria and Albert Museum is to play host to the Jameel Prize, an exhibition of "art and design inspired by Islamic tradition".

The exhibition, which features the work of 10 artists chosen from a shortlist of 100 nominations, will run later this month.

The Jameel Prize is awarded once every two years, and comes with a £25,000 payout.

Thanks to the Independent we can see a selection of the staggering works of high art on display.

Bask in the pinnacle of contemporary Islamic inspired art one and all. Come back Tracy Emin, all is forgiven - even that truly awful thing with the bed.
