From the website:

"Each artist must use provided brushes, paint, and canvas. He or she has up to four hours to complete a painting at the Stutz Business Center in Indianapolis between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Participants will be charged a $15 fee to compete. The general public is invited to watch the participants create their paintings for free.

Paintings will be numbered and posted on [link] for online voting. The top 32 vote-getters will be prominently displayed when doors open at 8 p.m. E.D.T. on Friday, September 25, 2009 at the Vogue Theater during the Main Event.

At the Main Event, each ticketed attendee can select three favorite paintings. Only the top 16 vote-getters compete for $3,500 cash prize. Paintings that do not make the Finals are subject to sale or destruction.

During the Finals of the Main Event, two paintings at a time are randomly selected from the 16 finalists. Audience noise is measured with a decibel meter to determine each "bout" winner. Each painting that loses a bout will face destruction as determined by a spin of The Wheel of Death. A painting can only be saved from destruction if the highest bidder purchases it from a live auction after each bout. If the spin of The Wheel of Death results in “Instant Death,” the painting will be destroyed on the spot without an auction. Minimum bids increase with each round: Round 1: $150, Round 2: $250, Round 3: $350 and Round 4: $450. Artists receive 70% of the amount from the sale of their paintings.

The one painting to survive four bouts will be crowned the Art vs. Art 2009 Champion, and its artist will receive a check for $3,500, the Title Belt, and full bragging rights. It's a winner-take-all competition. There is no second place prize. "
