We are thrilled to have a Viewer’s Choice Award for this year’s Women in Watercolor 3rd Annual Members Only International Exhibition! Please read through the rules before voting.
Viewer’s Choice Award Voting Rules
- Voting is open to everyone.
- Each person may vote for 10 (TEN) total of their favorite DIFFERENT paintings.
- We have 269 entries so please make sure you view all the images when you are voting. There are six (6) pages with fifty (50) images each.
- Click on the heart under each painting to cast your vote for that one.
- Voting closes February 28, 2026 at 11:59 pm EST (midnight). After voting closes, votes will be tallied and award winners will be contacted by email and posted on the website.
- The top six Viewer’s Choice Award Winners will receive cash awards!
- ONLY ONE TIME VOTING PER PERSON (for ten total different images). Any artist found voting multiple times for their own painting will be disqualified from any awards and barred from all future WIW competitions.
More Voting Information
- Images are loaded in a random order each time the voting site is opened so they all have a fair chance of being seen. If you reload the page during voting, they will change to another random order.
- No artist names or painting information is on the voting page, images only.
- After you have voted, if you want to see your votes, choose “Rating Descend” (instead of “Random”) in the toggle bar at the top left of the image gallery. The paintings you voted for will load at the top.
- If you want to change your vote for a painting you have already chosen, click on the painting image and it will open larger. Click the Yellow circle arrow at the bottom and it will say “Undo your last vote”. This will deselect the painting and then you can vote for another one instead, ten total. To get back to voting, click the X at the top right of the screen to close that window and get back to the full gallery.
- Once you vote for your ten paintings by clicking the hearts next to them, you are all finished. You do not have to click submit or do anything else, they are already counted and you are all done.
- Make sure you cast all ten votes at the same time visiting the voting page. You may not be able to continue or change votes at a later date.
