People's Choice: Your Vote Matters!
We invite you to be a part of the action by voting for your favorite artist. It's easy – just visit our auction site and cast your votes at $1 each. You can vote for as many artists as you like! If you have any questions you can visit the Olde Town Arvada info booth which will be located outside of On Tap Credit Union at 5675 Olde Wadsworth Blvd.
The artists with the most votes will win cash prizes:
1st Place: $2,500

3rd Place: $1,000
Judge's Choice:
A distinguished panel of judges from the Olde Town Arvada BID, the Arvada Center for Arts and Humanities, and the Arvada Arts and Culture Commission will select the Judge's Choice winner. The lucky artist will receive a commission of up to $10,000 to collaborate with an Olde Town business on a mural installation.
