‘Media Attention’ Award – $500
This year sees the introduction of the new ‘Media Attention’ Award for those who are successful in gaining the media’s attention to cover their babywearing event. We have made this super easy by producing ‘Media Release Templates’ for Event Coordinators to simply fill in with their local event details ready for submission to the local media – newspapers, radio, TV and community newsletters. This award will be judged by Babes in Arms and the winning group will receive a $500 AUD community grant to support the event’s nominated charity.
Event hosts can upload any media coverage to the Australia & NZ Facebook Page or via email community@babesinarms.com.au by October 20, 2011
