(firmenpresse) - WASHINGTON, DC -- (Marketwire) -- 03/12/13 -- ePals Corporation (TSX VENTURE: SLN), an education media company and the world's leading Global Learning Network, today announced that its media division, formerly Carus Publishing, was honored with 14 recognitions in the 2013 Parents' Choice Awards. The awards recognize the top children's magazines as voted upon by the Parents' Choice Foundation's panel of educators, scientists, performing artists, librarians, parents and even kids themselves.
"The Parents' Choice Awards are the gold standard for children's magazine recognition and we are delighted to continue to receive top honors from them," said Jason Patenaude, president of ePals Media. "We are dedicated to student literacy and to providing the finest and most engaging children's content possible, so this recognition from an independent organization is extremely gratifying."
Capturing eight of the 13 gold medals, ePals Media dominated the top award category for the second year in a row. It also garnered five silver honor medals and one medal of approval. The 14 total awards far exceeded those awarded to any other single publisher. The magazines have received nearly 95 Parents' Choice awards throughout their history.
Magazines target children in pre-school through age 14, and reading-leveled content covers a range of topics, including earth science, cultural explorations, history, literature, poetry, and art with activities, games, contests, reader-produced content and much more. Judges remarked the magazines were "packed with creativity," "thought-provoking," "well-researched," "engaging," and "... good food for young brains."
