VOTE FOR JEREMY CRAWFORD
The William G. Baker, Jr. Memorial Fund established the Baker Artist Awards to recognize Baltimore’s artists and engage the public in supporting their work. The 2010 Baker Artist Awards consists of two separate prizes, the Mary Sawyers Baker Prize and Baltimore's Choice. All Baltimore area artists working in any creative discipline are invited to register and compete. By utilizing the latest web technology, artist nominees represent themselves through video, audio, image and/or text. The online platform is designed to reach the broadest possible audience and invite their full participation. All site visitors are invited to create a personal user page and to vote on their favorite artists.
Baltimore's Choice provides an opportunity for the public to participate in the Baker Artist Awards. All users receive one vote upon registration. Registered users then accrue additional votes the more they interact with the site—up to 10 votes. Registered users can cast their votes for one artist or several artists. Votes can be changed up until the deadline. The five artists with most votes at the close of voting become the 2010 Baltimore’s Choice winners and win $1,000 each. Public voting for Baltimore's Choice begins on October 1, 2009 and ends at 5:00 PM on February 15, 2010. Winners will be announced in March 2010.
