Family & Parenting Awards 2027

Every year, new products, apps, services and experiences promise to make family life easier. Parents want to know which ones truly deliver. The Newsweek Family & Parenting Awards recognize outstanding entries that demonstrate meaningful innovation and value for families. Winners are selected by an independent panel of qualified judges using a consistent, evidence-based methodology.

The Newsweek Family & Parenting Awards are a paid-entry awards program administered by Newsweek Nexus and are separate from Newsweek's newsroom and non-paid rankings. Entry fees, advertising relationships and optional winner-seal licensing have no influence on judging.
