SMOKEY BEAR YOUTH POSTER CONTEST

The 2024 contest is dedicated to Smokey Bear’s 80th birthday! Children from first through fifth grade are invited to participate in this annual drawing contest featuring Smokey Bear! 

Smokey Bear is recognized both nationally and internationally as the symbol for wildfire prevention, with his motto being

"Only You Can Prevent Wildfires!"

Since 1944, Smokey Bear has taught people how to help prevent wildfires and how to be careful with campfires, barbecues, matches, and more.
