The Children’s Music Web Awards 2008

WINNERS

 

Our Children's Music Web Awards are decided in a multi-step judging process. First, family judges screen the candidates and make preliminary decisions. This year we had over 130 applications for 12 categories. In the second round, classrooms and day care centers worldwide pick their favorites.

Children's voices predominate every step of the way.

Thus,

it can truly be said that these are the

KIDS' FAVORITES!

You can hear some of the winners each month in real audio on Penelope's Radio
