Finalists for the Children's Music Web Awards 2003
These recordings have had a vigorous critique by our volunteer family judges. Each family who participated involved children of ages appropriate for the category. The kids listened to about 5 recordings in their categories. The children's decisions were given numerical scores. We used 3 judging families for each recording subgroup. Thus, each recording received three independent scores. The highest total scorers advanced to this, the finalist round.
These recordings will now be judged by classrooms and pre-schools worldwide. Expect a gala announcement of winners in early October and lots of publicity on XM Kids national satellite radio!
