How to vote

You decide who wins ArtPrize®. We think that’s pretty exciting.

Week 1 - All Artists Voters can vote up or vote down on any artist (only one vote per artist).

Week 2 - The Top 10 Voters have ONE vote (no down votes) to cast for one of the Top 10.

What's an "up" vote?

This is your basic “thumbs up” vote. The artists who receive the most up votes will advance into the Top 10.

What's a "down" vote?

Down votes are used to help you track which pieces are generating the most discussion or controversy. A down vote does not negate an up vote. Down votes will only affect who enters the Top 10 if two artists are tied for up votes.
