Toy Industry Hall of Fame Nomination Period Is Open

Toy Industry Association (TIA) members and toy industry stakeholders are invited to submit nominations of deserving candidates for induction into the Toy Industry Hall of Fame next February. The nomination period will extend through June 27, and the nomination form can be downloaded. Voting to select 2015 inductees is restricted to TIA members.

Consideration for the Toy Industry Hall of Fame is limited to individuals, living or deceased, who have made outstanding contributions or provided outstanding service to the toy industry and TIA. Possible accomplishments include lengthy experience, innovative product or marketing introductions, or service on the TIA Board of Directors.

An announcement of the 2015 inductees will be made in the fall. The newest members of the Hall of Fame will be honored at an induction ceremony in conjunction with the 15th annual Toy of the Year (TOTY) Awards ceremony held on February 13 in New York City.
