ABOUT OUR AWARDS PROGRAM

We decided to create an online award program to showcase Indie Kid’s Content Creators. Winning an award is a unique distinction and helps in the future creation and promotion of new content. It can also boost your credibility once you have a stamp of approval from outside your immediate network. Kiddable hopes to be different from other online awards in a good way! First, we are only approving entrants who meet our criteria and have a chance at winning. We are by no means exclusive, we just want quality content. Many other awards accept entry fees from creators who have no chance of becoming finalists or winners. We simply think you deserve better. If you do not receive an invitation to pay the entry fee, we will provide feedback and encouragement and not criticism. Your feelings matter.

Rules & Regulations

1. The content you submit must be free of adult content and innuendo.
2. A creator or team may enter one piece of content per category but you may not enter the same content in multiple categories. There is a limit of three categories per artist or team. Choose the best fit, our moderators may suggest changing categories if you request to enter one that is not suitable. Individuals/teams may not enter more than three items in three separate categories, publishers and organizations may do so provided that the content is created by more than one creator or team.
3. We do not permit the bullying or harassment of competitors. Treat each other with respect. Do not post disrespectful comments or otherwise harass members of the Kiddable Team or other competitors.
4. Content must be available for audiences in the United States and Canada. We prefer that content entered into each category is available globally, but this is not a requirement. However, it should be noted we have audience members around the world.
5. Content must be released within one year of the entry period (September 1, 2022 to February 15 2023). That means all content released in the 2022 calendar year is eligible and content from Q3 and Q4 of 2021 is also eligible. We understand that independent creators often release content with the intention of promoting it during the next calendar year.
6. Content must be submitted by the creator or a representative with the right to act on the creators behalf.
7. The entry fee must be paid via Paypal to Kiddable. The price is $50.00 USD. After your entry is approved you will receive an invite to pay via email. Once your invoice is paid you will be entered in the award competition.

Regulations

1. Winners will be chosen based on quality and overall presentation by the Kiddable Team. Kiddable may ask for opinions from trusted contractors with experience in select fields in the event the team cannot chose a winner. We reserve the right to select winners based on our internal criteria and have the right to receive recommendations from contractors. Any contractors selected to provide recommendations cannot and will not have content entered into the contest or any direct relation to any entrants (family, professional, or personal).
2. Nominations will be decided by the Kiddable team based on an initial application from prospective entrants. Kiddable will not accept payment for the entry fee unless the entrant is approved and meets out basic standards (availability mentioned in section 4. of the rules and content suitability defined in section 1). The content must also be high quality and meet the minimum standards of the genre and or industry they represent.
3. Prizes include a nomination certificate to each entrant approved to be featured in the competition. Kiddable will approve up to 10 nominations per category, with the exception of the Best Digital Children’s Book (Ebook/KDP digital kid’s book any genre or style) category which will feature up to 20 nominations. Each category will have three finalists who will receive a PDF certificate signed by one of the Kiddable judges. Their content will be featured on the award show presentation page signifying their status as a top contender, with the exception of the Best Digital Children’s Book (Ebook/KDP digital kid’s book any genre or style) category which will have 10 finalists. Each category will have one winner. Winners will receive a PDF certificate signed by one of the Kiddable judges delivered via email and their content will be featured above the finalists on the award show presentation page signifying their status as the winner in their category. The winners will also be featured on the Kiddable Instagram and Facebook pages. Winners and finalists will also receive a png sticker with Kiddable branding and the permission to use it on their content as a seal-of-approval if they wish. The stickers can be printed and added to the content or they can be added digitally, depending on the contestants preferences. The stickers will signify the content’s status as a finalist or winner.
4. After an entry is approved and the fee is received there will be no refunds under any circumstances. Once the content has been approved that signifies completion of our submission protocol and service.
5. Kiddable does not except payment in exchange for awards or certain selection statuses. We do not guarantee wins or finalist status and we reserve the right to chose the winners based on the criteria listed in the previous sections and in relation to the other entries based on our teams professional opinion.
6. Content ownership remains with the company or content creator that submitted it. We reserve the right to show a sample of the submitted content on our website indefinitely, and feature samples of the content on our social media after the competition is complete. Kiddable also reserves the right to share samples of the content in the future (indefinitely) when promoting future awards (this is a good thing). Kiddable will not publicly release or distribute the complete contents of any entry unless special arrangements are made separately from the context of the award presentation.
7. Content for consideration must be provided in an accessible Google Drive Folder (ie: anyone with a link can view) or a view link to a folder on Dropbox. Don’t worry the link will be kept private and will only be used by the Kiddable Award Team. Please provide the cover (jpg or png), a digital review copy (PDF) and a document with a synopsis and author bio.
