www.LifeofthePartyPremiere.com, while continuing to submit photos displaying the most spirit, by the promotion deadline: April 5 at 11:59 PM PDT.

All such submissions must include the school's designated hash tag as well as #lifeofthepartypremiere, and photos can be posted on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram-once per person/per platform/per day.

Each of the 25 schools' designated hash tags can also be found at

www.LifeofthePartyPremiere.com, where inspirational prompts are updated daily. Participants will also need to continue following either the official "Life of the Party" Twitter or Instagram accounts (see links below) to remain apprised of Promotion developments. The winning school will be announced on Friday, April 6.

Starring the eternally youthful Melissa McCarthy, LIFE OF THE PARTY tells the story of longtime dedicated housewife Deanna who, when her husband suddenly dumps her, turns regret into re-set by going back to college-alongside her daughter-and plunging headlong into the campus experience!
