Now is the time to engage with BNHA partner - Opera Baltimore! 

In 1833, Edgar Allan Poe submitted a short story to The Baltimore Saturday Visiter publication and won the competition which helped to launch his career. In celebration of the famous writer’s life, Poe Baltimore and BNHA have partnered to hold the 2nd Annual YOUNG Saturday ‘Visiter” Awards (YSVAs), open to Maryland High School Students (grade 9 - 12 or equivalent during the 2022-23 school year). The prizes will honor student media, art, performance, and writing that adapts or is inspired by Poe’s life and works. Submission deadline is October 31, 2022 (HALLOWEEN!), and there is no fee to enter.
