Title: Win a Lancome beauty hamper - nominate your favorite stores - shopping awards
Post by: culturebird on Wednesday 09 February 2011, 02:20:33 pm
We need your help...picking the very best stores across Australia. Consider it research. With prizes.

Do you have a go-to boutique where, like Cheers, everybody knows your name, where the windows have that go-out-of-your-way-to-walk-past factor and where the sales staff will always ring around to get the size you want? Well, we want to know.

Yes, here at Grazia (otherwise known as Shopping Addicted HQ), we're launching our very own Shopping Awards to reward all the best boutiques, high street, online, luxury and department stores for a job well done.

And we say no-one knows better than you who deserves the gongs.

So until February 16, we're giving you the chance to email in and nominate your favourite stores across 11 categories, including favourite High Street Chain Store or Jewellery Store – see the full list below.

For all readers who send in their nominations, you'll also have the opportunity to win a Lanc๔me hamper worth $1998. And there’s so much to love in there...

We'll be putting together a list of finalists with the help of four judges (and style experts): RMIT fashion program director Karen Webster, fashion consultant and trend forecaster Yasmin Sewell, Grazia's fashion director Mark Vassallo and retail business consultant Peter James Ryan.

On March 14 we'll announce the finalists – and then we'll ask you to help us decide who'll be the ultimate winner in each category. To give you plenty of time to decide, we're giving you six weeks to think about it.

Which also means six weeks of chances to win more than $20,000 in prizes. Voting closes on April 22, at which time we’ll hurry away to tally up the winners and announce them – along with the recipient of a Judge's Choice Award – in our May 16 issue. Phew!
