Dances, screen prints, YouTube clips and slideshows are all elements used in the work of this year’s Turner Prize nominees, who were announced on Wednesday by Tate Britain, where an exhibition of the four artists’ work will take place from Sept. 30 to Jan. 4.

The nominees for the £25,000 (or $42,428) prize, given annually to an artist who is either British or living in Britain, are Duncan Campbell, Ciara Phillips, James Richards and Tris Vonna-Michell. The runners-up each receive £5,000 (around $8,484).

The Irish-born, Glasgow-based Mr. Campbell was nominated for the video “It for Others,” part of Scotland’s entry in last year’s Venice Biennale. It includes sections of a 1953 documentary by Alain Resnais and Chris Marker, “Statues Also Die,” about African art, as well as a dance work choreographed by Michael Clark.

Ms. Phillips, who is Canadian and lives in Glasgow, was chosen for a solo exhibition in London in which she set up a temporary print studio and invited both artists and women’s groups to create prints.

The Welsh-born Mr. Richards, who splices material from YouTube, from charity shop video cassettes and his own footage, was selected for another Biennale entry, his video contribution to the group exhibition, “The Encylopedic Palace.”

Mr. Vonna-Michell who, like Mr. Campbell, studied at the Glasgow School of Art, was nominated for a solo exhibition, “Postcript II (Berlin)” in Brussels, which combines spoken word performance, slide projections, recordings and documents based on his mother’s Berlin childhood. “He tells and retells, to an almost obsessive degree, a tale that weaves together his incessant travels, personal experiences and haphazard pursuit of history,” Roberta Smith wrote of his work in The New York Times in 2009.

The Tate Britain, in a press statement, said, “These contrasting approaches suggest the impact of the Internet, cinema, TV and mobile technologies on a new generation of artists.” The winner, chosen by a four-person jury led by Penelope Curtis, the director of Tate Britain, will be announced at an awards ceremony on Dec. 1.
