Best remembered as a revolutionary romantic painter, JMW Turner was also an advocate of young talent. When he died he left a small fortune to support what he called "decayed artists" and he planned and designed an almshouse for them in Twickenham.

After his death a portion of his money went to the Royal Academy of Arts, which occasionally awards students the Turner Medal. The prestigious Turner Prize, founded in 1984, was named in his honour.

Director of the Turner Contemporary in Margate, Victoria Pomery said: "He was a revolutionary. The Turner Prize is named after him because he wanted to support young artists but also because he wanted them to be pushing their practice in inventive ways. The way he put paint on a canvas was different to the way other artists had done it before."

Young artists inspired by Turner can enter their work into the Page Turner competition.

Prizes include a digital camera, MP3 player, art books and materials, as well as having the artwork exhibited at the Turner Contemporary.

It is up to artists what they create and how they go about it. Artwork can be in any medium and of any size, such as photography, painting, digital design, sculpture or collage.

The only condition is that the work is inspired by this year's theme Determination and Courage, itself inspired by the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

You can enter the competition if you are in school Years 3-6 at primary school, in secondary school or further education.
