The Turner and Pooch Gallery

A W’ZIS Bad Art Club Competition

The Turner & Pooch Gallery

First came the W’ZIS Bad Art Club, launched in the summer of 2025 — it set the tone. Inspired by the level of averageness, we decided to launch the now internationally invisible Turner & Pooch Prize. An annual/one-off celebration of loosely based bad dog art, which saw Beth Morris crowned our inaugural winner. And more importantly, pocketing a cool £250 in cash money.

Thank you to everyone who entered. Enjoy their spectacular artwork below.

Don’t miss next year’s addition if, after some reflection, we decide it was actually worth anyone’s time and energy?
