Selecting the finalists of the Fan Festival 2016 in Las Vegas art contest from the large number of creative entries was no easy task for the development and operations teams! Once finalists were selected, we looked to Fan Festival attendees to help crown the grand prize winners in each category.



During the event, attendees were able to peruse the art gallery and cast votes for their favorite art pieces, which led to the final selections of our grand prize winners. We are pleased to announce that the votes have been tallied and the winners have been decided!



Congratulations to all of the winners and thank you to all of the entrants for sharing their truly magnificent art!
