Welcome to the Top 20 Finalists Exhibition!
Explore our Top 20 Finalists before our judges award 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place live on stream, and cast your official vote below to choose the winner of the $1,000 People’s Choice Art Grant!
How It Works & How to Vote:
View Full-Scale: Click on any artwork to expand it into full screen to view brushstrokes, textures, and uncropped dimensions (best viewed on a computer or tablet). Artwork details and artist links are listed below each piece.
Fair & Unbiased: The artwork gallery shuffles randomly on each reload to eliminate position bias when reviewing the paintings, and the poll options are listed in a randomized non-hierarchical order.
Cast Your Vote: Scroll past the gallery to cast your vote in our embedded StrawPoll. One vote per person (anti-bot and duplicate protections are active to keep things fair).
The Reveal: The winner of the $1,000 People’s Choice Art Grant will be revealed live during our Grand Finale on YouTube!
