The Idea
Baltimore has an unmistakable charm — it's why the world calls it Charm City. And as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Magnetic Charm asks photographers, professional and amateur alike, to capture that charm — Baltimore's magnetic charm — in one shot.
Use your imagination to tell the story. Iconic Baltimore landmarks are always welcome — especially shot from a dramatic or unexpected angle. The most memorable entries bring a personal perspective, whether that's a familiar site reimagined or an everyday moment only you would notice.
