The Fremont Troll has won our Axios Local contest to crown the best public artwork in the Mountain West.
Catch up quick: We started with 16 artworks from eight cities, then ran them head to head in a March Madness-inspired bracket.
- After the first three rounds of voting, the Emerald City's two entries came out on top, setting up an all-Seattle championship round between the Troll and Georgetown's Hat n' Boots.
The latest: The Troll walked all over its crosstown rival, winning 381 votes in the final round, compared to 94 votes for Hat n' Boots.
The big picture: Overall, nearly 4,000 people voted throughout the tournament.
The bottom line: It's best not to mess with our local bridge troll.
