===Controversy===
David Dodde’s ''Fleurs et riviere'' was an entry that placed magnetic flowers on the [[Alexander Calder]] sculpture ''[[La Grande Vitesse]]''. After getting complaints, the City of Grand Rapids contacted the Calder Foundation to get their input. Calder’s grandson, Alexander S. C. Rower, replied: {{quote|The initiative is luckily temporary and reflects an utter lack of understanding and respect of Calder's genius.}} The city decided to have the flowers removed before the end of the exhibition.<ref name="2013-controversy-mlive">{{Cite web|title= Calder's grandson calls ArtPrize flowers an 'abomination' |url= http://www.mlive.com/artprize/index.ssf/2013/09/calders_grandson_calls_artprize_flowers_an_abomination.html |last= Vande Bunte |first= Matt |publisher= MLive Media Group |date= September 26, 2013 |accessdate=October 6, 2013}}</ref>

ArtPrize is an international art competition held in Grand Rapids, Michigan.[1] 2013 marked ArtPrize's fifth competition which took place September 18 - October 6, 2013. The first ArtPrize competition took place between September 23 and October 10, 2009, and has occurred annually during similar periods of time.[2]

ArtPrize is unusual both for the large size of the top prize ($200,000, combined with other prizes cumulatively amounting to $560,000), as well as for the method of judging entries.[3]

Unlike traditionally juried competitions, ArtPrize contestants are juried by the public. Artists and venues (exhibition locations) negotiate and coordinate during a process called Connections. During the event, installations are voted upon by the public using modern networking technology.[2]

In 2010, ArtPrize formally added categories for traditional juried work, including two-dimensional, three-dimensional, use of urban space, time/performance and sustainability. Since then, the juried awards have increased in prize amount, with the top category prizes valued at $20,000 and a new Juried Grand Prize of $100,000.[4]

Concept

ArtPrize began as an experiment, a totally new event and a civic project on an unprecedented scale.

The grandest exhibition in a city's history would transform every possible space, by artists of all background, and be open to anyone who showed up to have a vote in the winner. The method of choosing the prize winner has been compared to American Idol.[5]

And it would happen almost all by itself—with no central curation. No one on the ArtPrize staff selects a single artist or directs them where to show their work.

Completely unorthodox by art world standards, but intriguing.

Voting directions

Voters must register in person within the three-square-mile ArtPrize district, either at a physical registration location, or using the iPhone or Android application.

Once registered, they may use the ArtPrize website, text messaging, or an iPhone or Android application[6][7] to vote. For text message voting, each artist is assigned two 5-digit codes, one for a "thumbs up" vote and one for a "thumbs down" vote. Both of these codes are posted near every entry, with many artists incorporating them into their entries or promotional materials.[8]

2009 Competition

The 2009 exhibition occurred in a 3-square-mile (7.8 km2) area of downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan. 1,262 artists or groups of artists displayed works in 159 venues.[9][10]

Prizes

The 2009 prizes, totaling to $449,000, were:

  • 1st place: $250,000
  • 2nd: $100,000
  • 3rd: $50,000
  • 4th through 10th: $7,000 each
