The Golden Bull Award is an award that is given annually by the Plain English Campaign to an organisation who has made what is deemed by the campaign to be a confusing and bad use of English (see gobbledygook).
Started in 1980, this award has been famously (or infamously) given to the NHS for a 229 word definition of a bed, and in 1981 winners were sent a parcel of tripe through the mail.
