Nominations for 2012 Designer Toy Awards Begin April 9

CLUTTER MEDIA GROUP has just announced a call for entries for nominations in the 2012 DESIGNER TOY AWARDS, with the public call for entries beginning Monday, April 9th, 2012. I was honored to be voted by the public to be BEST BLOG in 2011, and I've even written about WHY you should vote for this awards, and this year, the added option to nominate "anonymously" should be a boon to folks, methinks!

'This year, Anyone can anonymously submit an organization or individual for consideration, and entries will be reviewed by special nomination committees which will select the final five to ten nominees per category. Nominations will be officially announced during the San Diego Comic Con in July 2012 and the ceremony itself will be in New York City in October 2012.'
