“Fans of the N.J. arts scene are passionate and loyal, and for good reason,” said Executive Director of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts Nick Paleologos. “This program has grown beyond our expectations, and that’s a direct result of the distinctive, thriving arts industry in this state offering high-quality experiences all year round.”

This year, 11 arts districts and 116 organizations — the greatest number of nominees since the creation of the awards in 2008 — will compete in 18 categories, including favorite music festival, art gallery, small theatre, ballet company and more. Nominees were determined by those in the Jersey Arts Marketers network, which is made up of hundreds of N.J. arts organizations.

“Our state is rich with cultural and artistic opportunities,” said President and CEO of ArtPride New Jersey Adam Perle, which cosponsors the Discover Jersey Arts program with the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. “The People’s Choice Awards provides an opportunity to showcase the abundance of creativity across N.J., celebrating both winners and nominees with spirit and passion.”

For a full list of nominees and categories, please visit www.JerseyArts.com/Vote. Public voting runs from Jan. 9 through Feb. 20, and winners will be announced in March. Voters can enter to win a $100 gift card to the nominee of their choice.
