Gold Daisy Awards Nominations

By Laurie Corbett January 21, 2016
This week starts the second week for nominations in our 3rd Annual Gold Daisy Awards! Macaroni Kid's Gold Daisy Awards recognize the most beloved local businesses for kids in our communities as picked by you

As parents we want to know the best local business, venues and organizations for family-friendly fun in our area. Who is better to provide us with that information than other parents?! 

We encourage the nomination of small and locally owned businesses who do a fabulous job serving to local children and families.

Nominations will be accepted until February 3rd at midnight. The three businesses with the most nominations in each category will go on to the voting round. Voting will begin February 11th and will end March 19th. Winners will be announced March 24th.

Nominees must be located in Abington, Cohasset, Duxbury, Hanover, Hanson, Hingham, Hull, Marshfield, Norwell, Scituate, Pembroke, Rockland or Whitman.

One nomination per email address. You must be a Macaroni Kid South Shore Boston e-newsletter subscriber to nominate, and vote.

Winning businesses will receive bragging rights as well as free listing in our business directory for one year under the 2016 Gold Daisy Awards category (a $120 value). They will also be allowed use of the "Macaroni Approved" logo for the 2016 year as well.
