🌟 Introducing SideBurn Good Standing Policy
SideBurn has a new Good Standing policy to support a positive and accountable community. All participants, artists, and theme camps start in good standing, which ensures eligibility for tickets, placement, grants, and volunteer roles. However, good standing can be lost for disruptive behaviour or ignoring community guidelines. Learn more about the policy and how it supports our community values of growth, accountability, and respect.
