The clock is ticking down on the 2013 Eater Awards, and Eater is asking readers to help name the winners. Over the past 24 hours, readers voted for Maine's Restaurant of the Year, narrowing the field to The Gothic, Piccolo and Hugo's.

The voting begins right now for Maine's Chef of the Year. Here's how it works across the board: Eater editors have named nominees for each of five major categories. Eater readers will vote, narrowing the nominees to three finalists. From those three finalists, the Eater editorial team will select a winner. Ready to play your part?
