Join us for our first Macaroni Kid Gold Daisy Awards! As parents, you turn to us at Macaroni Kid to find local businesses for your family in our community. Now, we are asking you to help us recognize those that you love the most with a Gold Daisy Award from Macaroni Kid. It's simple to be a part of helping us recognize the top family focused businesses in our community.
What is your favorite place to bring your family for entertainment? Where do you go to enrich your children's learning? What do you do to engage your kids in the community? Think about all of the local places that make your life easier as a parent and nominate those businesses for a Gold Daisy Award.
The nomination process begins on September 27th 2020 and remains open until October 14th. Businesses with the most validated nominations move on to the voting round which begins on October 18th 2020. You can nominate any business in the towns that we cover: Lincroft, Holmdel, Tinton Falls, Red Bank, Shrewsbury, Middletown, Colts Neck, Rumson, Fair Haven, Little Silver, Highlands, Atlantic Highlands, Sea Bright, Farmingdale, Wall, North Howell, and Howell!
Anyone who nominates and votes during the contest will be entered for a chance to win one of 3 prize packs of iPlay America Unlimited Ride passes for a family of four ($120 value). Three winners will be selected by random.org and notified by e-mail of their prize.
For each category, the winning business will receive a free one-year listing in the Macaroni Kid business directory along with a certificate to display on site at their location and a website badge identifying them as a Gold Daisy Winner! Not to mention they receive the honor of knowing that our local families consider them one of the best!
Wait, there's more: For the one business that receives the most total nominations and votes in any one category, they will win a $500 advertising package!
Attention Local Businesses! Spread the word to your customers so they know to nominate and vote for you. Email me at staceyj@macaronikid.com for information, wording, and a button to post on your website or Facebook page.
