What is the TOMMI?
Every year since 2002, the German Children's Software Award TOMMI has honored high-quality digital games and educational programs for children and made them known to a wider audience. First, an expert jury selects the nominations. Then it is the turn of a children's jury in around 50 libraries in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Children always have the last word on the TOMMI! Further information on the TOMMI can be found on the website tommi.kids.
