Pittsburgh Coffee Week ran Oct 18–24. Its official event list included these opening-day events:

Voting and specials (past)

Virtual Latte Art Throwdown public voting was scheduled for Oct 16–23. The checked organizer’s page still linked the entry form, and we never confirmed a public ballot. The winner announcement date was never confirmed either, because the organizer’s page and linked form disagreed.

The official drink-specials page still said “Check back” when we looked. Coffee Week drink specials have ended.
