'Panda-Mick' or 'pandemic' won the 2021 Turnip Prize last night - the spoof award handed out at the same time as the prestigious Turner Prize.
The Turnips started in the late 90s in response to Tracey Emin's unmade bed - which she sold for £150,000 before it was later resold for more than £2.54 million.
Trevor Prideaux came up with the idea of poking fun at modern art while in a pub in Wedmore - and almost 100 people entered this year's spoof contest.
The Turnip Prize has been running for 21 years.
Entries last year included a ball of fur called ‘fur load’ and a toy baby with its back to a plant called ‘Back To The Fushcia”.
Last night a group of artists from Belfast were named the winners of this year's Turner Prize.
The judges praised Array Collective for their "hopeful" work addressing social and political issues affecting Northern Ireland.
They walked away with the £25,000 prize money at a ceremony in Coventry Cathedral.
