Hello,
The voting round of our arts & literature prize (details here) is over. A total of 2010 (odd coincidence, huh?) votes were cast for the 79 nominees (click here for full list of nominees). Thanks to the nominators and the voters for participating.
Carla Goller has designed a “trophy” logo that our top twenty vote-getters may choose to display on their own sites. So here they are, in descending order from the most voted-for:
3 Quarks Daily: James Ensor: Keepin' It Surreal
- The Millions: Proust’s Arabesk: The Museum of Innocence by Orhan Pamuk

The editors of 3 Quarks Daily will now pick the top six entries from these, and after possibly adding up to three “wildcard” entries, will send that list of finalists to Robert Pinsky on March 10. We will also post the list of finalists here on that date.
Good luck!
