BURN2 is an extension of the Burning Man project and community into the world of Second

Life. It is an officially sanctioned Burning Man Regional and is the only virtual world Regional

out of more than 100 real world Regional groups. We bring Burning Man culture and

community to the virtual world of Second Life.

The annual BURN2 festival showcases a lot of virtual art! Some participants create VERY

LARGE ART INSTALLATIONS, while others create interactive THEME CAMPS.

Every year, BURN2 gives away free plots for juried art installations and theme camps. These

juried plots are larger than the randomly selected lottery plots which were given in the

“Plottery.”

Anyone can apply for a Juried Plot, from newbie builders, to the seasoned, well ­known

artists. The Art Team jury will select the winners, judging applicants on artistic merit and build

interactiveness.

People can apply for a Juried Plot by filling out the simple application located at the BURN2

website: http://burn2.org/juried_camp_form



The theme this year is "CARGO CULT"; however there is no requirement that artists create to

the theme. Learn more about the theme here:http://www.burningman.com/art_of_burningman/bm13_theme.html

We encourage the press to provide this information to the public, and we hope to see lots of

wonderful art on the BURN2 playa this year!

Thank you,

The BURN2 Art Team
