• He/She agrees that both parties will be available in person for the public proposal on
  February 14 and are willing to partake in an engagement-day photo shoot.
• He/She submits an image of the couple for publicity purposes.

• GPTMC works with the winner to create a personalized love letter in the With Love campaign style and to develop a ruse to surprise the significant other.
• GPTMC and the winner plan a special engagement day on February 14 that features the personalized With Love letter on a Philadelphia Trolley Works trolley.
