Art that Empowers. Voices that Inspire. 

The ABA Poster Contest invites young burn survivors, children, and families—including those connected to burn camps—to share their stories through art. 

Posters can reflect strength, hope, resilience, and personal journeys, providing a powerful platform for voices that are often underrepresented. Winning designs will be featured during National Burn Awareness Week 2026 and at the ABA Annual Meeting. 

Submissions are due by Wednesday, September 30, 2026.
