The finalists for the 2023 Turnip Prize have been announced.

A KFC carton with a crown on top - “Inflation” by Ike Price

This year organisers received 193 entries and say “we have ordered a second skip.”
The presentation for this year’s awards will take place at 6.00pm on Tuesday 5th December in The New Inn, Combe Batch, Wedmore, Somerset.
