No nominees or winners paid a submission fee to be considered, and we strictly limited the number of award winners, evaluating products based on various criteria, including play value, safety, price point vs. quality, factors of social or environmental awareness, favorable review from retailers, consumers, experts or TDmonthly staff, and presence in or availability to the specialty market.

Product reviews, safety and testing information, retail display ideas, key features and ordering terms are available in the Profile Pages of the 200+ specialty toys, gifts and games that fill TDmonthly's "Positive Toys for a Promising Future."™ Click here to learn more about the Report and bonus eBook, "In the BLACK: TDmonthly's Essential Toy Retailing Tips."
