The Turnip Prize is a spoof UK award satirising the Tate Gallery's Turner Prize by rewarding deliberately bad modern art. It was started as a joke in 1999, but gained national media attention and inspired similar prizes. Credit is given for entries containing bad puns as titles, displaying "lack of effort" or "is it shit?". Conversely, entries with "too much effort" or "not shit enough" are immediately disqualified. The first prize is a turnip nailed to a block of wood.

2016 winner was Plumsky - (Sommelier) with "Pole Dark" - (a black pole).

The other shortlisted artist were:

Sovereign Steve with "Bricks It" - (three red bricks arranged as IT).

Hair Minge with "Labor Party" - (a Barbie doll giving birth to a party blower).

E.B.Trumped with "Oh Baaah Ma Leaves" - (two sheep and some leaves).

Willy Dropum with "Pair of Drawers" - (a pair of drawers from a bureau).

Kick Ass O with "The European Single Meerkat" - (a lone meerkat holding a European flag).
