Theme Submissions Open for SideBurn 2025!

It’s never too early to start dreaming about our next burn! As the board starts getting organized for 2025, we want to hear your ideas for themes for the 2025 event. Theme submissions are open from October 7 to 21. We’re especially hoping for themes that are easy to adapt to visual representation, that encourage inspiration, fun and play, and that reflect the 10 Principles of Burning Man.

Submit your theme ideas here.

Equity tickets application opens

Equity Ticket Application Form: https://forms.gle/43Az2Gs6tLxE8or46

Are you interested in attending SideBurn 2024 but are concerned about financial barriers to participation? We are now accepting applications for our Equity Ticketing program.

We offer two options: 

  • a reduced-cost ticket option at a 75% discount for tickets for those experiencing financial hardship

  • an opportunity to purchase a second guaranteed ticket for participants requiring assistance with activities of daily living.  

You can apply to both programs if applicable to your situation. Participants will still need to participate in the lottery to receive their ticket. For further information email equity@sideburn.ca.

Effigy Grant applications open

Effigy Grant Form 

Effigy Grant intakes close 23:59 EST on January 20th, 2024.

The art we saw last year blew all our socks off. Effigy was incredible in its might and our little  Temple burn was humble in its softness. To those of you thinking about applying for Effigy or Temple grants - do not be daunted by the size of structure you saw last year. All ideas are welcome and will be considered based on their conceptual prowess. If you have the start of an idea and want to spitball some ideas before applying reach out to us at art@sideburn.ca
