2013 KAPi JURORS
THE JUDGES for this year's KAPi Awards consisted of a panel of 13 journalists and/or expert children's interactive media publishers who used conference calls and online polling to narrow the selections. To protect the validity of the award, some judges were not permitted to participate in categories in which they had felt there could be a conflict of interest. In other words, no judge could vote for themselves.
