Lifelike Dolls is sold to over 35 countries around the world, hosts the GLAD Awards and participates in a variety of doll events in North America.



When asked about her feelings towards the partnership, Lifelike Dolls editor Sheri McDonald said...

"Lifelike Dolls Magazine is thrilled to sponsor the 2010 Colliii Awards. We have watched the last two Colliii Awards and we were impressed with the entries and the overall structure of the competition.

We have had the pleasure of featuring some of the former Colliii Awards finalists, and we look forward to seeing this year's talent. At Lifelike Dolls, we strive to feature quality artists and reach an international audience.

We feel the Colliii Awards reflect the same goals and we are pleased to join their impressive list of sponsors for 2010."
