2009 STICKER CONTEST! 2009 STICKER CONTEST! 2009 STICKER CONTEST!
Hello friends and fellow playa-schwag-ophiles!
Don’t we all just love getting fabulous playa schwag to help us remember our wonderful home in the desert even when we’re away throughout the year? Well, now we want you, the Black Rock Citizens, to help design official 2009 sticker schwag.
That’s right! It's that time of year again - time for our annual sticker contest!
This is the official call for designs for the 2009 Burning Man stickers.
Your design could be the one passed out with the materials you receive as you pass through the GreetersStation upon entering Black Rock City. Other designs will become official sticker schwag passed out randomly on and off the playa throughout the year.
Your sticker designs can vary in size from 2.25" by 5.5" to 3" by 3". Round designs should be 3" in diameter. Please incorporate both the name Burning Man and the year 2009 into your design. Unfortunately, sticker designs are limited to only TWO or THREE colors. Please design accordingly.
Don’t you just love driving down the road and seeing a fellow burner with a “BRC” bumper sticker? Well, so do we! That’s why we are also looking for designs for 2009 car stickers. This sticker is traditionally a car window sticker that will be printed on clear vinyl and in two colors.
Designs for the car window stickers should be 2" by 2". Round car window stickers should be 2" in diameter. Please make sure designs contain the Burning Man name and the year 2009. Unfortunately, sticker designs are limited to only TWO colors. Please design accordingly. Whichever type of sticker tickles your fancy (or maybe your very ticklish and want to enter several designs), remember there IS a theme, and we like stickers that attempt to use the theme. This year’s theme is “Evolution”. Read up on it at: www.burningman.com/art_of_burningman/bm09_theme.html
Wondering how to get your sticker designs to us? Well, if at all possible, please post your design on a web page and send the URL to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ; otherwise, send in a color separated vector Adobe Illustrator file to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Whether sending your design or questions, please put "STICKER DESIGN" in the subject header.
The deadline for design submissions is Sunday June 14th.
Once again, please note that all artwork selected for stickers needs to be submitted in a color separated vector Illustrator file in the actual size the sticker is to be produced.
Thank You and Good Luck!

Red Sonja & Squirt
