Dreli-Bears Feb 7, 2009

Hello to everyone who is common with the Toby!!! Please I need some help for my dear friend Heike who has got a nominiation at the Toby-Award 2009 with her "Baby Sitting". She's got a mail from the Teddy Bear & Friends where they told her, that she got the Toby Industry’s Choice Award - so we just want to know, if getting a nomination would mean the same as having the Toby Industry’s Choice Award.

Please be so kind to help me in this case for my friend Heike Buchner ........ and more than that, please also have a look at her lovely bears at httwww.sunshineteddy.dewww.sunshineteddy.de

thanks a lot and have a wonderful weekend - hugs from the Dreli-Bears

First of all, congratulations to Heike!
And yes, a TOBY Industry's Choice Award is the same like a TOBY-Nomination. I guess they call it award because you actually get a little award just for being nominated.

By being awarded a TOBY Industry's Choice Award, it means that you are also nominated for the TOBY Public Choice Award, where one is chosen in each category as the overall winner (this is voted on by the public, hence the name 'Public Choice' Award).  This is probably where the confusion comes from!!
