another from Rolling Stone.<br />
“For such a fairly new publication<br />
like ours, just being<br />
nominated feels like we’ve already<br />
won,” said Vasilis Papadrosos,<br />
Chicagoly’s creative<br />
director. “I’m very honored<br />
we’re recognized among so<br />
many well-established publications.<br />
And it’s also great<br />
recognition for the hard work<br />
all of us put into this magazine<br />
every issue and motivation to<br />
keep producing quality work.<br />
“But — let’s be honest —<br />
Just the beginning<br />
In just six issues, Chicagoly has earned numerous recognitions<br />

important to Chicagoans.<br />

read in Chicagoland,”<br />
the magazine recently moved<br />
