How To Vote

Once all the artwork entries are submitted, our panel of expert judges shortlist the top three entries from each school. Then, in April an online public vote takes place for those shortlisted entries. When voting closes, the student with the most votes from each school wins a place in the annual Art Bytes Virtual Exhibition which launches in June, and the chance to be one of our regional or national winners! The school who receives the most votes will receive our Community Engagement Award with certificate and prizes from our sponsors! A great opportunity for school communities to support creativity and vote!

Voting

Select Browse Schools page from the menu. View all the entries by choosing either the Secondary Schools or Primary Schools page, where you will find all the schools taking part. Click the Browse Entries button under each school logo to view their artwork; the three shortlisted entries eligible to vote on, are at the top of each page with a trophy marked 1st, 2nd, 3rd.

When you have selected your favourite piece from ALL the shortlisted entries across the schools, click the blue Vote Now button under that piece.

A box will appear asking for your email address; please type this carefully and click the Place your Vote button.

You will then be sent an email containing a confirmation link (this is to ensure the system is not abused and everyone has one vote only), which you MUST CLICK to confirm your vote. Please check your spam/junk folder in case the email has gone in there. This verifies your vote and ensures there is only one vote per person!

Voting Rules

One Vote Per Person

You can’t select more than one artwork, so have a good think about which piece you like the most. If you try to vote a second time, your previous vote will be overruled.

Confirm Your Email

We need to verify that your email is valid or your vote will not count! A link will be sent to you (check your spam folder), clicking that link will confirm your vote. Our email verification ensures there is only one vote per person!
