Mark Wallinger was awarded the 2007 Turner Prize for ''[[State Britain]]'', a direct meticulous replica and reconstruction of [[Brian Haw]]’s protest peace camp outside the [[Palace of Westminster|Houses of Parliament]] against policies towards Iraq.<ref>{{cite web |last=Street |first=Ben |date=8 February 2007 |title=The State We're In |url=http://www.artnet.com/magazineus/reviews/street/street2-8-07.asp |website=Artnet Magazine}}</ref> The installation occupied the entire length of [[Tate Britain]]’s Duveen Galleries, consisting of more than 600 banners, flags, teddy bears, peace signs, Haw’s tarpaulin shelter, and other materials amassed by Haw over his years of protest.<ref name=":0" /> The original display consisted of donations from the public, including paintings, banners and toys. This had been confiscated by the police under the [[Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005]]. He also put a black line on the floor of the Tate and through the middle of his exhibit to mark part of a 1 kilometre exclusion zone from Parliament Square.<ref>{{cite web |title=Mark Wallinger: State Britain – Tate |url=http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/exhibition/mark-wallinger-state-britain |work=tate.org.uk}}</ref>  The jury applauded the work for its “immediacy, visceral intensity and historic importance” integrating “a bold political statement with art’s ability to articulate fundamental human truths”.<ref name="bearman">{{cite news |last=Higgins |first=Charlotte |date=3 December 2007 |title=Bear man walks away with Turner Prize |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |url=http://arts.guardian.co.uk/turnerprize2007/story/0,,2221321,00.html |access-date=3 December 2007}}</ref> The art historian Yve-Alain Bois described ''State Britain'' as “one of the most remarkable political works of art ever”.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Bois |first=Yve-Alain |date=April 2007 |title=Piece Movement: Mark Wallinger's State Britain |url=https://www.artforum.com/print/200704/piece-movement-mark-wallinger-s-state-britain-12935 |journal=Artforum |volume=45 |issue=8 |pages=248–51}}</ref>

On speaking to the BBC about the award, Wallinger added, "I am indebted to all those people who contributed to the making of ''State Britain''. Brian Haw is a remarkable man who has waged a tireless campaign against the folly and hubris of our government’s foreign policy. For six-and-a-half years he has remained steadfast in Parliament Square, the last dissenting voice in Britain. Bring home the troops, give us back our rights, trust the people."<ref>{{Cite news |date=December 3, 2007 |title=Mark Wallinger wins Turner Prize |work=BBC |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7124575.stm#:~:text=Mark%20Wallinger%20has%20been%20named,at%20the%20Tate%20Liverpool%20gallery.}}</ref>
