ArtPrize Voting Ends At 11:59 p.m. Wednesday GRAND RAPIDS, MI (Michigan Radio) - It's the final day of voting for ArtPrize in Grand Rapids. Voting ends at 11:59 p.m. tonight. The artist who gets the most votes will win $250,000.

More than 30,000 people registered to vote in ArtPrize, but voting on the top 10 finalists this week has been relatively slow compared to the first week of the competition.

Many voters waited until today to check out the art and cast their vote.

And everyone has their own ideas of how to judge the contenders. Michelle Oole says she's just voting for what she likes.

"I'm not a big fan of picking the things that I think everybody else is going to pick," she says. "That sounds really funny, but I'm not going to look for the novel. I like what I see and that's what I'm going to vote for I guess."

The top vote-getter in ArtPrize will get $250,000. There's almost $500,000 in total prize money at stake.

The winner will be announced tomorrow.
