Rock the Vote!.


Rachel Bone's Nomination | Baker Artist Awards
The nominations are in for the Baker Artist Awards, and you can view mine RIGHT HERE. And guess what? I need your votes! The Baker Artist Awards consists of two separate prizes, the Mary Sawyers Baker Prize and Baltimore's Choice:

Mary Sawyers Baker, one of Baltimore's early philanthropists, studied voice as a young girl in Paris, traveled extensively, and embraced the arts throughout her life. She established the William G. Baker, Jr. Memorial Fund in 1964 to honor her husband, a well-known Baltimore civic leader. Up to three artists are awarded up to $25,000 each—money that winners may use at their discretion. The Mary Sawyers Baker Prize winners are selected by a private jury. Winners will be announced in March 2010.

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. 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 ends at 5 PM on February 15, 2010. Winners will be announced in March 2010.

Looking at Baltimore artists all day & picking favorites? What a great non-facebook way to procrastinate during your Friday workday!! Thanks for looking!
