About The Mom's Choice Awards®
The Mom's Choice Awards® is known for establishing the benchmark of excellence in family-friendly media, products and services. This annual awards program recognizes authors, inventors, companies, parents and others for their achievements.
Our Mission: To advance the family physically, spiritually and emotionally. Our mission—to honor excellence in family-friendly media, products and services that are a positive force in our society—aims to connect more parents and educators with quality materials for children.
We acknowledge individuals and organizations whose accomplishments have provided inspiration and guidance for so many. It's our way of providing reinforcement to those who labor alone or collectively, fueled only by their passion to make a better world, as they write an inspiring book or design a helpful product.
A Mark Of Distinction
Parents, educators, librarians and retailers rely on our evaluations when selecting quality materials for children and families. The Mom's Choice Awards® (MCA) seal helps families and educators navigate the vast array of products and services and make informed decisions.

The Evaluation Process
The MCA judges are bound by a strict code of ethics which ensures expert and objective analysis free from any manufacturer association. The evaluation process uses a propriety methodology in which entries are scored on a number of elements including production quality, design, educational value, entertainment value, originality, appeal and cost. Judges are especially interested in products that help families grow emotionally, physically and spiritually; are morally sound and promote good will; are inspirational and uplifting. Each product is judged on its own merit. One category could have multiple recipients or no recipients at all.
