    It sounds like a bit of an award scam actually - there’s a disappointed recipient taking about it here.

    I don’t think there’s a lot of legal stuff around awards - you can pretty much just make one up and give it to things.

      Winners who pay $500 may use the Mom’s Choice Awards seal “for marketing and promotional purposes” BUT must pay the $1500 fee to actually put the seal on the books. Unless you purchase the stick on seals, 100 for $50.00.

      Yeah, that’s definitely a scam.
