The Turnip Prize

June 28, 2012

Last year’s Turnip Prize had a 102-year-old winner and his artistic work of muddy water and jam.
Jim Drew, of Cocklake, called his work Jamming with Muddy Waters.
The Turnip Prize is a spoof award that pokes fun at the Tate Gallery’s Turner Prize by rewarding deliberately bad modern art.
Jim said: “I am amazed to win this most coveted art award on my first attempt and I truly feel the lack of effort has really paid off. I aimed low and luckily reached far lower than I could have dreamed. I am amazed at what my mediocrity and indifference has achieved.”
