Nominators are asked to visit the Resident Mom Honors page, upload a photograph of the mom who they think deserves to win, and provide a brief summary of why the nominee is worthy of the award. Five finalists within each category will be selected, and the public will determine the grand prize winners by voting from October 25-31.
