THEME:

“A Century of Voices”

For 100 years, UBalt has been a hub for transformation, resilience, and innovation. To celebrate that, we are centering our theme on 100 years. We invite submissions that explore themes of growth, perseverance, identity, and change—whether personal, societal, or historical. What does 100 years mean to you?
