A WORDY wit has been crowned winner of the Turnip Prize 2013, the ultimate tongue-in-cheek gong for the 'art world'.
While Londonderry was hosting this year's Turner Prize - the controversial award that brought Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin to prominence - The New Inn at Wedmore saw Percy-Long-Prong receive his turnip.
'Play on Words', pictured, was Long-Prong's winning entry - a Shakespeare script placed on the Oxford dictionary.
Organiser Trevor Prideaux said: "I am delighted with the lack of effort taken to create this work. It's the ultimate play on words."
Long-Prong, a 69 year-old former Harrods shop assistant and chauffeur from Wedmore, said, "It was one of those things - a flash of brilliance that comes to everyone once in a lifetime."
This year's Turnip Prize attracted a total of 69 entries.
