FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEBURN2 is an extension of the Burning Man project and community into the world of SecondLife. 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_formThe theme this year is “CARGO CULT”; however there is no requirement that artists create to the theme. Learn more about the theme
