# Spoofed Art Awards The Turnip Prize 2010 is a "Crap Art Competition" By Meghan Young | Published 2010-11-27 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turnip-prize-2010 References: [neatorama](http://www.neatorama.com/2010/11/25/winners-of-the-2010-turnip-prize-for-bad-art/) & [telegraph](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/culturepicturegalleries/8159784/Turnip-Prize-2010-entries-revealed-for-a-spoof-version-of-the-art-worlds-Turner-Prize.html) Spoofing the prestigious [Turner Prize](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/be-open-art) for yet another year, you can find a selection of entries for the Turnip Prize 2010 in the gallery above. Although it began as a joke more than a decade ago in 1999, the "[crap art competition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-competition)," as put by its website, continues to thrive. From what I can tell, each entry is a visualization of a well-known saying -- or a silly interpretation of one. For instance, the winner of the Turnip Prize 2010 created an 'art piece' that represented the term "In a Pickle." He received a turnip with a [rusty nail](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1) shoved into it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Spoof Art Competitions:** Opportunity to create parody art competitions that mock prestigious art awards like the Turner Prize. - **Visualization of Sayings:** Trend of creating visual representations or interpretations of well-known sayings or idioms. - **Silly Interpretations of Art:** Growing interest in creating humorous and quirky art pieces that challenge traditional definitions of art. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art Competitions:** Opportunity to revamp traditional art competitions by incorporating humor and parody. - **Art Galleries:** Trend of displaying unconventional and humorous art pieces in galleries to attract new audiences. - **Creative Events and Festivals:** Emerging market for events and festivals centered around the celebration of unconventional and satirical art. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Snack Artwork Auctions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mischief-by-chester.md) - [Artistic Hamburger Competitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-of-the-burger-contest.md) - [Tuna-Focused Film Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuna-cans-film-festival.md) - [April Fool's Lifestyle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/april-fools-lifestyle.md) - [Soup-Themed Bunny Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidrobot-2.md) - [Playful Tomato Athletes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-games-campaign.md) - [AI-Generated Soup Can Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campbells-paintings.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Colorfully Inflatable Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blowup-art-the-hague.md)
