Best of Show
A select and rotating group of prominent art professionals are convened each year to select the piece of art to receive this $2500 cash award. This award is graciously donated by Coors Western Art Advisory Committee.

Mary Belle Grant Award
Mary Belle Grant was one of the creators and early visionaries of the Coors Western Art Exhibit & Sale. She served on the advisory committee since its inception and every year had been a patron and passionate friend of the arts in the Denver community. Beginning in 2000, the Coors Western Art Exhibit & Sale created this award in her memory to honor an individual or couple who embody the spirit of the western way of life and symbolize the passion of the West through art.

Artists' Choice
This award is selected by the Coors Western Art Show artists on the evening of the Blue Jean Preview. It is their choice of the work or body of work by a fellow artist that stands out among his or her peers.

People’s Choice
This honorary award is selected solely by the patrons who visit the exhibit each year. Votes are tallied throughout the event. At the end of the show, the artwork with the most votes wins.
