The winning commissions range from a giant spinning column of clouds and light in Liverpool by Anthony McCall to a full-size soccer field that will be built in the forests of Scotland by Craig Coulthard. As the world’s soccer stars battle around the United Kingdom, amateurs will battle on Coulthard’s pitch in the name of art.

Other winners include Adian Avion and Marc Rees, who plan to “nest” an abandoned DC9 airplane around Wales, and Alex Hartley, who may have proposed the most mysterious project, which is said to involve bringing an island that he discovered in the Arctic Ocean in 2004 to the shores of England.
