Voting

The audience votes—yes, the reference to American Idol has come up—and the artist with the most votes takes the $250,000 prize. The vote turns everyone from passive observer into active participant. We like that.

ArtPrize recognizes the assistance of Deloitte & Touche LLP

ArtPrize acknowledges the contributions that Deloitte & Touche LLP provided in designing the member registration and voting process. The member registration activity is a streamlined sequence of tasks to both register and validate each individual that desires to participate in the ArtPrize event. The voting activity is an automated forum to capture each member’s perspective on each piece of art and tabulate the overall results. Combined, the registration and voting process is designed to provide a unique experience for voting members and to promote the integrity of the resulting awards.

Anyone is free to vote.
