<\/p>\nThe shortlist for the ‘world famous’ Turnip Prize has been revealed – with one entry paying a satirical homage to the British government’s partygate scandal.<\/p>\n
The annual spoof award goes to someone who has ‘created something that they perceive to be c**p art using the least amount of effort possible’.<\/p>\n
The world famous annual award – in its 25th year – attracted 193 entries from all over the world and is designed to satirise the Tate Gallery’s Turner Prize by rewarding deliberately bad modern art.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The finalists include ‘Party Gate’ by Mr Keep Calm – a metal gate with a party hat on the top;\u00a0‘Coronation Chicken’- a KFC cartoon with a crown on top by ChicKing the Third of Somerset;\u00a0‘Inflation’ by Ike Price with an inflated balloon and pump and\u00a0‘A Eye’ by G.P.T. Chat Esq of an artificial eyeball.<\/p>\n
The presentation will take place on December 5 at The New Inn in Wedmore, Somerset.<\/p>\n

The competition was created after seeing\u00a0Tracey’s Emin’s ‘My Bed’ – a controversial work which was exhibited at the Tate Gallery as one of the shortlisted works for the Turner Prize<\/p>\n
An exhibition of 16 former winners and notable entrants is also being held.<\/p>\n
Winners of the competition receive a turnip attached to a wooden base.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The mock prize rewards the artist who puts the least amount of effort into a work and was first given out in 1999 as a jibe at modern art.<\/p>\n
Trevor Prideaux came up with the competition idea after seeing Tracey’s Emin’s ‘My Bed’ – a controversial work which was exhibited at the Tate Gallery as one of the shortlisted works for the Turner Prize.<\/p>\n
The artwork showed her unmade bed artfully littered with condoms, cigarette packs and underwear.<\/p>\n
Emin explained that the work was created after she survived a mental breakdown in 1998, after which she spent four days almost unconscious and highly intoxicated on vodka and cigarettes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The scene around her bed highlighted the breakdown.<\/p>\n
When Emin left to go to the toilet, she noticed that her bed had turned into a work of art that chronicled one of the darkest moments of her life. In response, Emin opted to transform it into an art installation.<\/p>\n
In 2014, My Bed later sold at auction for \u00a32,546,500.<\/p>\n
When critics said anyone could exhibit their unmade bed, she replied: ‘Well, they didn’t, did they? No one had ever done that before.’<\/p>\n
