Turnip Prize: Spoof art award in 25th year open to entries
By Louis InglisBBC News
The spoof Turnip Prize award for purposefully low-effort and cheap art is open to entries for its 25th year.
The Competition , held in Somerset, has entries from around The World but those that display " too much effort" are immediately disqualified.
Entries will be accepted from 1 to 21 November, and this year's winner will be announced on 6 December.
An exhibition of 16 former winners and notable entrants is also being held at the New Inn , Wedmore.
Competition organiser Trevor Prideaux told The Bbc : " It never ceases to amaze me how many entries we get every year.
" I never expected the award to run on for this long, but people want a Turnip and they want that recognition! "
The Turnip Prize started in 1999, when artist Tracey Emin 's 'My Bed ' was nominated for the prestigious Turner Prize. Emin's work sold to Charles Saatchi for £150,000 and was later auctioned at Christie's for over £2. 5m.
The Modern Art piece proved controversial and Prideaux took inspiration from that to create his own spoof art award.
Mr Prideaux said: " I think one of my favourite submissions that we've had was Chilli n' Minors, back in 2010.
" It kind of changed The Game for people that were entering.
" People realised they needed to be more topical. We Are Looking Forward to some more topical and interesting entries this year. "
