Children's recording and performing artist, Judy Pancoast, has received a 2004 "Best Song" award for her song, "One Big Eyeball." The Award was presented by the popular Children's Music Web Awards (CMWA), which has been selecting "Best Song" winners in a variety of children's music categories for seven years. This is the third year Ms. Pancoast has been recognized and honored with a "Best Song" nod. In 1999, Pancoast won for "Swimming in Jello" and in 2000, she won for "The Potty Dance."

Ms. Pancoast, who is based in Goffstown NH, regularly tours the United States, performing concerts in venues that include festivals, libraries, theaters and schools. Among her 2004 concerts were performances at the New York Tribeca Film Festival Family Street Fair, the "Kids for Kids" Festival for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Aids Foundation and a summer tour that took her to 7 states. She has been honored with the coveted Parents Choice Award, has been endorsed by the Coalition for Quality Children's Media, and has even performed twice for the President of the United States.

A selection of her songs can be regularly heard on XM Satellite radio and her best-selling CDs are available nationwide at Borders Books and on Amazon.com. "One Big Eyeball" was among the selected winners in Younger Category 18 on the CMWA website.
