Voting Is Underway For 2018 JerseyArts.com People's Choice Awards

(BURLINGTON, NJ) -—  Voting is underway for the 2018 JerseyArts.com People’s Choice Awards, presented by ArtPride New Jersey Foundation and New Jersey State Council on the Arts. Celebrating the extraordinary work of New Jersey’s vital, vibrant and diverse arts community for 10 years, the contest invites arts lovers to lend their support for their favorite local cultural organizations by voting at www.JerseyArts.com/Vote. Last year, nearly 18,000 ballots were cast, and even more are expected during this milestone year.

“Fans of the N.J. arts scene are passionate and loyal, and for good reason,” said Nick Paleologos, Executive Director of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. “This program has grown beyond our expectations, and that’s a direct result of the distinctive, thriving arts industry in this state offering high-quality experiences all year round.”

This year, 11 arts districts and 116 organizations – the greatest number of nominees since the creation of the Awards in 2008 – will compete in 18 categories, including favorite music festival, art gallery, small theatre, ballet company and more. Nominees were determined by those in the Jersey Arts Marketers network, which is made up of hundreds of N.J. arts organizations.

“Our state is rich with cultural and artistic opportunities,” said Adam Perle, President & CEO of ArtPride New Jersey, which cosponsors the Discover Jersey Arts program with the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. “The People’s Choice Awards provides an opportunity to showcase the abundance of creativity across N.J., celebrating both winners and nominees with spirit and passion.”
