Earnshaw’s Hosts Its Annual Design Award Competition

The Earnie Awards are Earnshaw’s magazine’s annual honor recognizing design excellence in children’s wear. For more than 30 years, the magazine has celebrated retailers’ picks for the best kids’ fashions.

“In this tough retail environment, excellent design is more important than ever,” stated Caletha Crawford, publisher of Earnshaw’s magazine. “These awards give retailers the opportunity to salute those brands that have exhibited the value, quality and fun that consumers have been seeking.”

This year’s ballot appears in the September issue as well as online at http://www.earnshaws.com/2009-earnies-voting-ballot. Voting for the 2009 Earnie Awards will run through Sept. 28th. The winners will be announced in the November issue.
