Victory: Fremont Troll wins our contest for best public artwork
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.

It's Seattle vs. Seattle in final round of our public art contest
You did it, Seattle. We're the best public art city in the Mountain West, according to Axios Local readers. The latest: Both of Seattle's entries in our public art contest made it to the championship round in our March Madness-inspired bracket. That means it's one Seattle sculpture against another duking it out for the top title, after defeating contenders from seven other cities across the western United States. Zoom in: The choice now is whether to crown the Fremont Troll or Georgetown's Hat n' Boots as the best public artwork in the Mountain West. Either way, Seattle wins. You can vote below (or at this link) through 11am Pacific Time Monday to pick your favorite Seattle icon.

Final Four: Seattle advances in our public art contest
Seattle is crushing our Axios Local contest to crown the best public art city in the Mountain West. The latest: Both of the Emerald City's art entries have made it to the Final Four. None of the other seven cities in the competition (San Francisco, Boulder, Denver, San Diego, Portland, Phoenix or Salt Lake City) achieved that feat. Catch up quick: In the last round of voting, the Fremont Troll beat Out of the Blue, a colorful whale that rises from a roundabout in Salt Lake City. Georgetown's Hat n' Boots, meanwhile, bested The Yearling in Denver. What's next: Final Four voting runs through Wednesday at 11am PT.

Help Seattle win our contest for best public art
We knew you could do it, Seattle. The latest: Both Seattle art pieces we submitted in our Axios Local public art contest made it through the first round of voting, advancing to the Elite Eight. Catch up quick: In honor of March Madness, each Axios Local city in the Mountain West region — Seattle, Portland, Phoenix, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Denver, San Diego and soon Boulder — submitted two of their best and weirdest pieces of public art. We at Axios Seattle leaned into the "weird," submitting the Fremont Troll and Georgetown's Hat n' Boots as our entries. Each artwork was seeded No. 1 through 16. And much like the NCAA tournament, there were some major upsets after the first round of voting and some Cinderella stories are brewing. What's next: We need your help to ensure Seattle is represented in the Final Four! (You know our troll under a bridge is better than that whale on a roundabout in Salt Lake City.) Vote here to help Seattle advance in the tournament!
