Turnip Prize goes topical
The winner of the spoof Turnip Prize has been announced at a pub in Somerset.
The competition is billed as an antidote to the prestigious Turner Prize which is announced the same night.
While the Turner Prize is sometimes controversial in its choice of winners (notably Tracy Emin and her bed), it is nothing to compare with the Turnip Prize, where the judges reward the lack of effort taken by the artists.
There were 69 entries in the competition and it seems this year's finalists for the much sought after turnip on a nail have taken the rule to heart.
In the end the judges went for possible the most topical entry - a tribute to the newest party in parliament - UKIP.
It was awarded to Ms Drunken Shepherd for her work entitled “Ewe Kip” (A Sleeping Sheep). See what she did there?
