Student Simulation Competition is Open for Nominations

2026 Wildfire Mitigation Simulation Competition

The Student Nomination Window is now open! It will be open through the end of February 2026.

Nominate your Students for the Simulation Competition

Read this before you nominate:

• Each NASPAA member school is permitted to nominate up to five students.
• These five students can be a mix of graduate and undergraduate students.
• Students from all schools and at all levels are combined to form diverse teams. Even if you nominate five graduate students, it will be the goal of the NASPAA Simulation Competition to put each of those students on a team with students representing five different schools. Graduate and undergraduate students will also be combined on their teams.
• Nominations must be made by the principal representative of a NASPAA member school.
• The entry fee is $25 per student.
