Welcome to BURN2! The main event, the one you’ve been waiting for all year, is coming up October 1 to the 9th!

So how can you get involved?

There are several ways to get involved, and you can participate in one, some, or all of them.

First, you can get a camp plot and build a camp. Your camp can be anything you want, as long as it complies with the Ten Principles and BURN2 Builders Guidelines. Time is running out though! We have a land rush coming!

Second, you can volunteer for one of the many departments! Volunteering is a fun way to spend time with cool people, learn new skills, make new friends, and learn more about Burning Man and BURN2. We love our volunteers! Want to build? Manage plots? Make art cars? Be a Ranger? Work with the stages and performers? Greet participants, answer questions, and help people find stuff? Be a Lamplighter? Help develop this wonderful web site? We have these positions and many more available! Just surf on over to our volunteers section for more information, position descriptions, and our handy online application!

Third, you can donate money! BURN2, unlike Burning Life, is not supported by Linden Lab. It is an entirely resident created event, which means we pay for the sims we use, and every little bit helps! You can donate Linden dollars inworld at the donation kiosk in the BURN2 information tent or US dollars through PayPal (see the PayPal donation button in the navigation column to your right).

Fourth, if none of these appeal to you or you have limited time and/or finances, then come on down during the event and have some fun! We’ll have lots of free stuff–yes, TOTALLY FREE and free of any commercialization–and fun things to do. You can still participate fully by enjoying all the creative things people have built and spending time on the playa! Just like at Burning Man! We’ll even tell you how to make it more realistic, if you wish!
