products and are committed to relaying reviewer
feedback to the manufacturers that submit their
products.
4Overview
- iParenting Media Awards is the premier evaluator
of childrens media and juvenile products. We
utilize a thorough evaluation procedure to review
products. We conduct evaluations with a
qualified base of hundreds of reviewers that
complete a comprehensive survey. - We execute our awards process with an innovative
technical platform that is supported with
excellent customer service. All reviewers,
including licensed childcare facilities, product
experts and parents are contracted exclusively
for our company and paid for their services.
Several people review each product, ensuring a
fair and objective process.
5Submissions Process
- Award evaluation periods happen quarterly and
awards announced quarterly. Product submissions
are done online and managed by the submitter
under a user name and password. This ensures
security and accuracy of your company, product
description and related information. After
submitting online, you can then monitor and track
all essential elements of the submission on your
private company page. Your information is stored
on our secured servers and password protected
within our encrypted system. - More than 1,000 Manufacturers and PR firms have
