Sending in Plans

Plan deadline for Theme Camps and Villages is March 30th. However applications are being considered as they arrive. Please complete and submit your placement questionaire before sending your layout plans. Camps within villages should submit your plans to your village mayor, so your mayor can submit a single combined village plan before the deadline.

Layout example:
• Layout Plans must be an overhead view complete with dimensions in feet.
• 8.5 x 11-inch "landscape" (horizontal) orientation, best suited for black & white printing – avoid dark, cluttered backgrounds. (We know they’re cool, but please do not use satellite photos of previous years).
• The largest item on your layout plan should be your Camp name, running along the top of the 11-inch edge. Under the camp name, please list your name, email address, and phone number.
• Call out significant features and each project within your Camp area:
◦ Where is the entrance?
◦ Where is the main structure for the Participant interactions?
◦ Where are vehicles parked?
◦ Where are generators?
◦ Re: Villages: where are your access roads?
• A Camp frontage view is requested, but not required.
• When submitting your plan as a digital file, be sure the file name is your unique Camp name. (NOT the generic "camp plan", or "layout plan")
• When writing or replying to us, be sure your Camp name is in the subject line of all emails.
Preferred plan submission:
1. If you have posted your plan on the interwebs, the Placement Questionnaire has a field for the URL web address of your plan.
2. You may send plan URL web address in an email with Camp name in the subject line to themecamp (at) burningmanaustralia.
Additional submission options:
1. Email your Camp plans as an email attachment of no more than one megabyte (1MB) in size, with your Camp name in the subject line, to themecamp (at) burningmanaustralia.com
Preferable file format is JPEG. Other acceptable formats are .psd, .gif, .tif, and .doc) 2. If none of these submittal options work for you, write seed (at) burningmanaustralia.com
and we will provide you with individualized options, but please do so well in advance of the March 30th deadline. Thank you,
Theme Camp Team.
