FINAL REMINDER: TOTY Nominations Due Thursday

September 17, 2018 | The deadline to submit nominations for the 2019 Toy of the Year (TOTY) Awards is Thursday, September 20 at 5 p.m. (Eastern).

Companies may nominate toys, games, and licensed properties for one of 17 categories including Creative Toy of the Year, Collectible of the Year, and Tech Toy of the Year.

TOTY finalists will be revealed the week of November 12. At that time, voting will open for retailers, media, Toy Association members, and consumers at ToyAwards.org through January 6, 2019.

One winner in each category, as well as the “People’s Choice” award (based solely on consumer votes), and the prestigious overall “Toy of the Year” winner (chosen by a panel of experts that will consider several factors in making their decision, including Toy of the Year votes, holiday sales, and media buzz), will be announced at the TOTY Awards ceremony on Friday, February 15, 2019 at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City.

Administered by The Toy Association, the awards program supports the philanthropic work of The Toy Foundation, which delivers new toys to children in need. For the full list of TOTY categories and for more information, visit TOTYAwards.org or email toty@toyassociation.org.
