The Kidscreen Hot50 program has been discontinued until further notice. It has been our pleasure to showcase the kids entertainment industry's top companies over the years, and we look forward to continuing to chronicle and celebrate your many future successes in our publishing products Kidscreen magazine and Kidscreen Daily.

You are welcome to submit in more than one category—you just have to fill out a different form for each one. And obviously, you’ll want to focus on achievements that are relevant to each category you’re submitting in. We also ask that you submit a company logo and a high-resolution image that best represents your top achievement.

In October, we’ll invite all Kidscreen readers to review the submissions online and tell us which company they think is tops in each category. (We know what you’re thinking, but don’t worry! Our system only allows bona fide Kidscreen subscribers to vote, and only one time in each category.)

The Kidscreen Hot50 will be determined by tallying these votes, and we will announce the final rankings in December in our Kidscreen Daily newsletter, and with a press release to all relevant trade media.

Companies that make it into the Kidscreen Hot50 will be featured in a special end-of-year digital issue, as well as in copies of our February/March 2024 magazine issue that will be distributed at Kidscreen Summit 2024 (Feb 4-7, San Diego). They will also be recognized as part of our high-profile Kidscreen Awards ceremony at the event.

Plus, we’ll showcase the Kidscreen Hot50 companies on a dedicated microsite for a full year, and archive the content so it remains searchable and is accessible online.
