The UC ANR Fire Network is inviting 4-H members ages 9-18 to submit artwork showcasing creative solutions for helping communities adapt to wildfires. All submissions will be displayed at the 2026 Beneficial Fire Summit in San Diego, California. Link in bio. @ucanr.edu @afe-fireecology.bsky.social

A flyer that reads “Calling all artists and creative thinkers! Showcase your creative solutions for reducing wildfire risk at the 2026 Beneficial Fire Summit” at the top, includes an image of fire burning through foliage in the middle of the page with text over it that reads “Submissions due October 12” and the contest title “Envisioning a Fire-Adapted Future”, and text underneath the image at the bottom of the page that reads “Who can enter: 4-H members ages 9+”, “Winners receive a t-shirt printed with their artwork!”, and “Learn more at link.ucanr.edu/2026-fire-art-contest”.
