The Parents' Choice Foundation Will Evaluate Mobile Apps Marketed to Children
The Parents' Choice Foundation is the nation's oldest nonprofit guide for children's media and toys. They recently added a new category for their Parents' Choice Awards Program - mobile applications marketed to children. This is the first new category addition in over a decade.
“This is not about whether or not kids should have the smartest phone in the world. Cell phones have revolutionized game play, information gathering and dissemination and socializing. Parents’ Choice is interested in the content of mobile applications marketed to children, and how can we help guide parents to the best apps for fun-filled learning on the go,” said Claire S. Green, President of Parents’ Choice Foundation.
The Parents’ Choice Award program is now accepting applications for the Mobile Applications category until February 15, 2010. The winners will be announced on April 15, 2010. Categories include: Educational Books Photo & Video Tools Fun & Games Homework Helpers Entertainment Music Makers
