LONDON (Reuters) - A documentary film that takes viewers to U.S. President George W. Bush's hometown of Crawford has been tipped to take home this year's Turner Prize.

Bookmakers backed Jeremy Deller as the even money favourite to win the 25,000 pound award on Monday night -- one of the art world's most controversial -- with his Texas documentary "Memory Bucket 2003", which also takes viewers to the Waco siege site.

Politics played a big part in this year's competition, which is often mocked more than admired in the country's annual "Is it Art? debate.

Pop superstar Madonna swore live on television when presenting the prize in 2001 to conceptual artist Martin Creed.

His prize-winning work was a bare room with a light that switched on and off. In 1998, Chris Ofili won with a Virgin Mary figure made of elephant dung. In 1995, Damien Hirst won with a pickled sheep.
