We have all been impacted by the devastating wildfires. We want to do our part to help. A portion of the proceeds from this year’s festival will be donated to a Southern California aid organization to help the Southern Californians who lost so much. Your entry submission fees along with sponsorship money raised will go to help people in need. We’re not just a festival, we’re Southern California.
