Monthly THEMES
To plan for the upcoming year, we'd like to offer you some general topic ideas for photos, articles, and submissions.  Feel free to submit news and photos before our deadlines.  If you would like to write an article on a particular topic, email or call us with your idea.  We are always looking for locally-written articles on topics relating to youth and family life.  For more information on submissions, click here.

(Specific topics and themes may be added, changed, or rescheduled over the course of the next year,
so please check back regularly.)
 
Articles
Please remember that space requires us to limit word count.  We suggest between 500 and 1000 words (maximum.)  Articles should be written objectively and provide information and insight valuable to families. Promotional news can be submitted by businesses and organizations who would like to to publicize an event or story, but word count is limited to 200 plus a photo.  Delmarva Youth will regularly highlight various organizations and businesses that fit certain criteria. For information on how to be a part of of our monthly focus articles, contact our office at 410-742-0022.

Advertising
If you're looking for a way to really target your advertising beyond just reaching families (as all advertising in Delmarva Youth does) consider purchasing an ad that relates to one of the planned topics Delmarva Youth will cover in the next year.  For information on theme advertising, click here.
