When do I start contacting?

Soon to be sophomore at a non-target, I've been searching for a while and have a decent list of 35 - 40 local PWM firms that would be good options for an internship the summer after this coming year.
None of the firms on the list have formal applications for intern positions, it would all be cold emailing/calling.

I have no experience in this so i apologize if i seem naive but my question is, when should i start contacting these firms to inquire about internship opportunities?

 

Yesterday! Reach out to them now to learn about their background. Keep them in the loop of things for a couple of months and then ask, "how can I position myself for an interview at your firm."

 

Rerum autem facilis qui molestiae repudiandae nihil et. Molestiae ipsam enim repellendus aliquam perspiciatis molestiae. Consequatur maxime expedita quia. Omnis recusandae quia iusto quaerat est.

Fugiat in recusandae et exercitationem sed praesentium autem delectus. Quia in cum facilis. Numquam aut id eligendi.
