Spoof art triumphs once again at the 2017 Turnip Prize

Trevor Prideaux Turnip Prize entry: Pig being pulled by tractorTrevor Prideaux
The lack of effort put into creating 'Pulled Pork' wowed the judges of the Turnip Prize

Pulled Pork has been named the best entry in a spoof art award, the Turnip Prize - a not so artistic interpretation of the Turner Prize.

The toy tractor pulling a plastic pig is the work of artist Chris P Bacon.

Organiser Trevor Prideaux said entries which took "the least amount of effort possible to create" were encouraged.

He added the competition, run from a Somerset pub, attracted a "record number of crap entries from around the world".
