Banksy - Turnip Prize?, by Daniel Silk on Nov 21, 2008 13:46:48 GMT 1, www.thewestonmercury.co.uk/content/twm/news/story.aspx?brand=Westonmercury&category=newsSomerset&tBrand=westonmercury&tCategory=znews&itemid=WeED19%20Nov%202008%2016%3A19%3A12%3A377
Another Banksy for the Turnip Prize?
19 November 2008
AN ANONYMOUS Banksy-style artwork has been entered into Wedmore's Turnip Prize.
For the second time in two years, organisers of the spoof art competition have been left wondering if it could be a genuine piece created by the Bristol-based artist.
It depicts a rabbit hutch containing CCTV cameras and a dummy head eating a rat with a spray can and the words 'another crap art event'.
The cameras can move and the head speaks while it chews on the rat.
The work was left outside the house of Turnip Prize organiser Trevor Prideaux just as a similar piece was last year.
Trevor said: "It is unlikely to win the Turnip Prize as it is only awarded to the person who has created something that took the least amount of effort.
"Someone has spent too much effort creating this work and it is likely to be disqualified for that reason."
The Turnip Prize, which is in its 10th year, is due to be judged at The New Inn in Combe Batch on December 1 from 6.30pm.
The deadline for entries is November 28 at 12noon and they can be left at The New Inn.

Banksy - Turnip Prize?, by becksaboo on Nov 21, 2008 14:03:39 GMT 1, I've got the images which are supposed to be by banksy and it's most definitely not by him. It's just the local paper being stupid as obviously anything with his name in gets attention.
The Turnip Prize is great, but he tries this trick every year saying banksy's submitted just so that it gets more attention.
