The Chicago Reader’s annual Best of Chicago is generated entirely by nominations from the community. The ballot will be revealed on December 6. Voting begins at noon on Dec. 13, 2023 and continues until 11:59 PM Jan. 14, 2024. CLICK HERE for our Best of Chicago promotion toolkit, which includes standard images for social media and a printable poster to display in your place of business.
Enhanced Listings
All nominees can “enhance” their listing on the ballot. Enhanced listings provide additional information to voters: Business address, contact information, and links to social media pages. The cost is $125 for the first category and $25 for each additional category (with the same information). Nominees are NOT required to purchase an enhanced listing in order to win. Contact us to discuss purchasing five or more enhanced listings, category and group ads, ad packages and sponsorships.
Enhanced listings are a feature offered by our contest platform that we choose to enable, as we feel it provides our readers with valuable information. The fee helps us cover the cost of the platform as well as the time it takes us to input this information.
Interested in purchasing an enhanced listing? Click the correct purchase point below, and after your payment is received, you’ll receive your link to fill out the form.
