Presenting the Racked Awards 2011 Winners, City by City

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.

It's here: The full list of nominees in each category of our first-annual Racked Awards, and of course, the winners who won them. Tonight at the event, we'll award them the most amazing gold turban, ever, but for now, we'll let them bask in their glory here. We thought long and hard as to what stores, brands, designers, and Twitter personalities deserved the mighty prize, and even opened a few of the categories up for a reader vote.

To recap, our local sites in New York City, LA, and Chicago compiled nominees for categories like Store of the Year, Most Mindblowing Shoe Selection, and Best Men's Store of the Year, many of which were left up to a reader vote. On our national site, we focused on things like Best Shopping Site of the Year (our one reader vote category), as well Best New E-Commerce Site, Video Interlude of the Year, and Celebrity Designer of the Year, to name just a few. Click through to see all the nominees and winners.
