The 2nd Annual Buckey Awards for Excellence in the Arts celebrates the artists, performers and arts supporters of Yavapai County. 

To vote for the artists, performers and arts supporters who most impressed you in 2011, click here.

We will publish the names of all valid nominees - our goal is to celebrate our hard-working creative folk here in the Central Arizona Highlands.

And, on Saturday, March 10th, at the historic Elks Opera House, public radio's KAWC, KJZA, as well as the City of Prescott and many others will present a glittering night of awards celebrating these outstanding members of our arts community.

The awards show will be simulcast on Access 13 for your Buckey Awards watching parties, with plenty of very cool surprises planned. You can watch as the story unfolds here on the Buckey Awards blog. 

See you at the Buckeys!
