Meanwhile in Australia... (again)

The Australian equivalent of the UK's BP Portrait Award is called the Archibald Prize, and very prestigious it is too.
There is, however, an antidote to the seriousness of the Archibald Prize, a parody called the Bald Archy Prize, worth $5000AUS. This year's winner is 'Bad Ass...ange' by Xavier Ghazi, above, showing Julian Assange... well, see for yourself. View the other entries here.
I think we really need to have an equivalent in the UK - the PB Portrait Award anyone? Suggestions for what PB could stand for please...
