Cast your vote for the audience favorite award among the finalists in each of the fully competitive categories: Youth Artists, Ages 10 to 13, and 14 to 18, Collegiate, and Professional Artists. Winners of the semi-competitive categories, namely Outstanding Amateurs, and Youth, Ages 9 and Under will also be revealed, with an audience favorite prize awarded by you, the public.
