Reader's Choice Polls Have Closed

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

Today we closed the last two polls for the Racked Awards, which concludes the reader's choice portion of the contest. Each poll remained open for 48 hours and created a brief pandaemonium amongst those in-the-know about Chicago's shopping scene. If you want a brief recap of the winners, who we'll fête on October 11th at The Westway in New York, you can read back on the nominees here and analyze the polls. We'll make a much more formal announcement later at which time you'll be able to smell the gold lamé the trophy turbans are made of. [The Management]
