Philly Bike Expo Tickets

Outside of the student categories, the first 50 ArtBike! entrants will receive free entry to the Philly Bike Expo on Saturday November 5th. All students who enter will receive free entry.

How to Enter

Step 1. Make your art or fine-art object.

Step 2. You have two options here.

1. Take it to one of the bike shops or galleries on our list, put it in a nice location and take two photographs: one so we can see it’s actually in the shop or gallery, the other should be the one that people will vote on.
2. Take it to an outdoor location in Old City or Fishtown and get a photograph of it. If you can leave it in that location for a few hours, maybe chained to a bike rack for example, that would be great because ArtBike! fans can that are really on the ball might be able to spot it in situ. How cool would that be?

Step 3. Complete your online entry form and send us your photos. You can do all this online. It takes a couple of minutes to complete the form.

Step 4. Check your email for your Philly Bike Expo free entry voucher. It will arrive within 24 hours.

Then What?

The photo you want people to vote on will be on display in our Facebook site. This is where people will vote, so encourage your friends and family to go check out the pics and vote on whichever ones they think should win an award.

Voting

People who only view images online will be allowed to vote for one piece one time only, unless they do something tricky like setting up two Facebook accounts, but we really hope that doesn’t happen.

People who have got out and viewed objects in person, and can post up a FB selfie to prove it will get three votes on each of their favorite objects. Just let us know in the post which object(s) you’re voting for.
