The inaugural prize was won by New York-based Iranian-born artist Afruz Amighi for her submission, 1001 Pages (2008), and will be shown alongside works by the 8 shortlisted artists and designers. The Jameel Prize 2009, which was an exhibition of contemporary art and design inspired by Islamic tradition lasted until January 9, 2011.
