Welcome to Washington FAMILY's "Mom of the Year" Contest!

We feel that moms are not celebrated nearly enough for all they do for their families, their communities, and their work. They care for us when we're sick, pack hundreds of school lunches, help us with our homework and make sure we have everything we need. As we grow up, they're only a phone call away for advice and motherly wisdom. They support us financially and emotionally throughout our lives. They give everything to us and we think it's time we give back to them!

That leads us to Washington FAMILY's Moms of the Year contest!

The first round was nominations. Now that those are in, it's time to vote! Click on "The Moms" tab and take a look at each mom and read her story. Every single one of these moms has been an amazing, caring, loving, extraordinary mother and woman and all deserve to be recognized. When you think you've chosen a mother, give her your vote. There are no wrong choices.

The voting process will run through March 14th. Spread the words to your family, friends, coworkers - whoever. Thank you for your time and your vote!

The winners will receive a feature article in Washington FAMILY, which will also be on www.washingtonFAMILY.com, a spot as one of the guests of honor at our Moms of the Year banquet, and featured on our website and social media.
