BSFS Contest Honors Miller
The Baltimore Science Fiction Society has announced that the annual BSFS Annual Poetry Contest has been renamed in honor of late SF author Steve Miller, who died in February 2024. The contest will henceforth be known as the Steve Miller BSFS Annual Poetry Contest.
The BSFS membership voted to rename the contest with the support of Miller’s widow and collaborator Sharon Lee.
The poetry contest was founded in 2008, and has continued annually since then, regularly garnering hundreds of entries from around the world. Winning poets receive a cash prize and have their poems published on the BSFS website and in the BSFAN, the souvenir book for Balticon, the annual convention sponsored by BSFS on Memorial Day weekend. They are also granted a full weekend membership and are invited to read their winning entries.
Complete rules and winning entries for previous years can be found here: bsfs.org/bsfspoetry.htm.
