The deadline is February 10 to apply online for the 2014 National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Awards. The awards—administered by the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services—are given annually to twelve programs, each of which receives $10,000. Eligible programs include afterschool and out-of-school arts and humanities programs sponsored by museums, libraries, performing arts organizations, educational institutions, arts centers, community service organizations, businesses, and eligible government entities. Each of twelve winners will receive an award plaque and an invitation to accept their award from the President’s Committee’s Honorary Chairman, First Lady Michelle Obama, at a ceremony at the White House. This year’s NAHYP winners included the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra’s OrchKids program, which was honored at a White House ceremony in November.
