The finalists who have been announced in a spoof art competition in Somerset are 'avin' a larf.

The Turnip Prize has attracted entries created by loosely termed artists taking the "least amount of effort possible."

People from around the world have taken part in the keenly contested initiative to celebrate ridiculous and rubbish pieces of art.

Judging is taking place in the New Inn, in Wedmore, on Tuesday, December 2 at 6 pm.

The winner will take home the much sought after trophy of a humble turnip impaled on a rusty six-inch nail.

The Turner Prize was first awarded in 1999 in mockery of Tracey Emin’s My Bed – her unmade bed – exhibit, after it was shortlisted for the Turner Prize.
