I found something to cheer me up during all the doom and gloom.
I may be a little late to this one but have only just read about it. According to the BBC here ...
The Turnip Prize award, organised by a Somerset pub, is given to the person who has "created something they perceive to be crap art using the least amount of effort possible". Winners of the competition receive a turnip attached to a wooden base.

Apparently last year's winner was rather rude, but very funny. Read the BBC article if you want to know more.
Haha !! Personally, I think they are too good to be perceived as crap !!! I feel they need to stoop to a much lower { and rude } level !!! XXXX
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see so many people still retain their sense of humour. Perhaps the BBC only reported the less rude ones!
DeleteHaw! Haw! I love this. With a nod to The Booker Prize we might introduce another prize - The Hooker Prize - open only to rugby front row forwards and prostitutes. But they wouldn't have to write anything. They'd just submit photographs of themselves - preferably not while at work!
ReplyDeleteWhat form would the award take, YP?
DeleteIt would be a silver trophy with handles and a lid. Engraved upon it would be these words "The Hooker Prize". Crazy, huh?
DeleteWow. Such imagination, YP.
DeleteI love this so much. Let us know the winner.
