Summit Media Joins Forces With Avida Land to Celebrate All Things Homegrown

Cosmopolitan showcased its version of a dream space for millennials at the #CosmoCondo, designed by Mich Calma, where Cosmo Girls could take their #OOTD shots, with the best outfit of the day photo winning a special prize. Smart Parenting, meantime, worked with Flourish & Frills to create the perfect photo booth for families.
