General Guidelines

  • Branding: Ensure the event is titled: "...... [School Name] supports Protect Your Mom Campaign".
  • Media Assets: Email high-definition pictures and videos to [email protected]. HD quality is essential for inclusion in magazines and TV reports.
  • Media Coverage: Check if any staff or students have media connections. Secure all necessary permissions before seeking coverage.
  • Submissions: You can email dances, songs, posters, and speeches directly to the team.
  • University Credits: Community service with PYM is given high weightage for admissions to US/UK Universities.

Pro-Tips:

Submit your write-ups and HD photos immediately after the event—news expires quickly! Note that media outlets rarely cover the same event twice.
