It’s that time again! The 5th Annual TMoM Choice Awards contest kicks off TODAY! This contest celebrates all things parent-related in the Triad. We ask our readers to nominate the best of the best in categories ranging from the Best Gift Shop to the Best Daycare to the Best Sports Program.
There are TWO PHASES of this contest – the nomination period and the final voting period. Any business can be nominated, but only the ones with the most nominations will move to the final voting round. We have listened to the feedback of our readers and have made a few changes. You will not have to wait for a newsletter to receive the nomination link this year. (Link is below!) Secondly, in order to be consistent and fair to all who are nominated, readers must nominate individual professionals for categories asking for favorite medical professionals or realtors; nominations of “teams” or “partners” will no longer be accepted.
