Family Favorites 2026 is happening across all six of our publications: Baton Rouge Parents Magazine, Birmingham Parent Magazine, Cincinnati Family Magazine, Colorado Parent Magazine, NOLA Family Magazine, and now MetroFamily Magazine, our newest market joining the celebration this year.
You’ve already accomplished something worth celebrating — making it to the Family Favorites Voting Round means your community showed up for you, and being named among the Top 5 businesses in your category is an achievement most businesses never experience.
But now comes the exciting part: the finish line.
This is your opportunity to turn momentum into a win, and our Voting Packages are designed to help you stand out when it matters most. From premium banner ads and enhanced ballot visibility to a ready-to-use Marketing Toolkit filled with social posts, captions, email templates, a content calendar, posters, and more, we make it easy to rally your audience and stay top-of-mind with thousands of local families who are actively voting right now.
And when the votes are in? The celebration begins.
Winners and runner-ups are invited to our exclusive Winner’s Circle Party — an annual celebration where the best local businesses come together to celebrate, make connections, grow relationships, and be recognized among the most engaged family-focused community in the market.
This is more than recognition. It’s visibility, credibility, and a seat at the table with future clients, referral partners, and community champions.
You’ve already earned your spot in the Top 5 — now let’s help you finish strong.
Voting Packages: The best way to keep your name top-of mind for our readers who are voting their favorites.
Sponsorship Packages: Designed to spotlight your business and create strong brand recognition throughout the nomination and voting period.
Marketing toolkits: A toolkit encompassing all the tools you need to promote your brand after you have won. This toolkit will be included in any package you purchase and will include a number of ways to promote yourself to your readers by thanking them for voting you a favorite of the community.
This contest specializes in reaching parents. We deliver a highly engaged audience, a friendly voice, and a buzzing community in all markets.



The only way to receive pricing is by connecting with an Account Executive. Fill out the form on this page and you will be contacted directly with next steps.
No. While purchasing a package or becoming a sponsor can greatly increase your brand visibility and help drive awareness, it does not guarantee advancement or a win. All nominations and votes are tracked, counted, and validated by a third party platform. We simply host the contest.
We are currently in the voting round, where the top five nominated businesses in each category are competing for the Reader's Choice title. Businesses that tied for fifth place during the nomination round also advanced and are included in the voting.
Each category includes one Reader’s Choice winner and two runner ups. Reader’s Choice winners receive access to the 2026 gold seal, and runner ups receive a silver seal that can be used on their own marketing materials.
The full marketing toolkits are available only with the purchase of any package. Toolkits include the Family Favorites seal, email templates and an email signature, social media posts and captions, a poster, a content calendar, and a table tent. There is a free marketing toolkit for each round of Family Favorites for those who do not purchase a package, but they are extremely limited. Once the free marketing toolkit becomes available, it will be emailed out to all clients and you will also be able to download it on this page. Everything is designed to help your visibility and keep your business top-of-mind during the nomination round
