Turnip Prize 2022: Finalists of spoof art prize reference Queen's death and Ukraine

The organisers of Somerset's Turnip Prize have revealed the finalists for this year’s competition.

Set up as a parody of the world-famous Turner Prize, the Turnip Prize is awarded to the person using the “least amount of effort possible” to make a unique piece of art.

This year’s spoof contest received 69 entries which will be judged by last year’s competition winner Ching Ching Pi Pi Ee and the event’s organiser Trevor Prideaux, who told ITV that this year's creativity is up to its 'usual c*** standard'.

He said: "The Turnip Prize is now in its 24th year and this year we have four wonderful finalists that have equally used no or little effort at all.

"It will be a very tricky decision given the standard of the works nominated."
