If you haven't submitted your company for Hot50 yet, now's the time to do it. The deadline is Friday, August 7.

What is the Kidscreen Hot50, you ask? It's our annual ranking of the world's top 50 kids entertainment companies, featured in a special digital issue and a Kidscreen Summit print publication. Submitting is totally FREE! All you have to do is fill out this easy online form and tell us about your company's three biggest achievements from the last year in one of these business categories:

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.

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 on December 14 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 digital issue launching on December 14, as well as a print insert that will be distributed with copies of Kidscreen's February/March issue at Kidscreen Summit 2021. They will also be presented with a commemorative trophy as part of our high-profile Kidscreen Awards ceremony at the Summit. Plus we’ll showcase the Kidscreen Hot50 companies on a dedicated microsite for a full year, and then archive this content so it’s still searchable and accessible online.
