After taking a hiatus last year so we could launch our annual Gold Daisy School Awards our Gold Daisy Awards are back for the 4th time and we couldn't be more excited!
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. As a bonus one person who completes the nomination form will be selected at random to receive a $25 gift card to the local business of their choice. Find the official rules for this sweepstakes HERE.
Nominations will be accepted until February 2nd at midnight. The three businesses with the most nominations in each category will move on to the voting round. Voting will begin February 8th and will end March 2nd. Winners will be announced March 8th.
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 20168 Gold Daisy Awards category (a $120 value). They will also be allowed use of the "Macaroni Approved" logo for the 2018 year as well.
