Would we like Celtic Burn to become Official Regional Event?

Currently, Celtic Burn is An event inspired by the 10 Principles of Burning Man in Scotland with no ties to Burning Man. I would like to start the discussion to see if we could become a Regional Event and strengthen the bond, Why?

Because I believe in the Burning Man culture, I value the history of events that created that culture, and you want to be in service to doing that same good work proudly and publicly as part of an amazing global regional event network. The main benefit is that you believe in what we are creating together in the world and want to join us and our peers in doing that work publicly. Being sanctioned also means connecting with Burning Man and a global community of official regional events and supporting what the community is doing in the world, sparking creativity, upholding our shared principles, and blowing people’s minds and hearts open in the best ways possible!

Other benefits include:

Being listed and recognized on the official events list on Burningman.org (if wanted. If we don't want to, that’s ok too)

Ability to promote in the Jackrabbit Speaks and/or Burning Man social media

Support from the Official Events Team at [email protected]

Access to the Regional Events Committee when you have questions that the officializing team cannot quickly address

Access to an online Resource Library of tools and templates, including the Community Event Production Toolkit, etc.

Ability to use certain Burning Man trademarks and names and call yourself an “official regional event”

Mediation support from the Meta Regionals Conflict Support Sub-committee

Ability to promote in the Jackrabbit Speaks and/or Burning Man social media

Your event’s image/logo can be posted on the Burning Man website on the scrolling part of the Global Network of official regional events.

Help connecting with a peer support network of official regional event organizers.

Invitation to apply for the Regional Event Lead Mentorship Program in Black Rock City

Access to directed tickets to the Burning Man event.

Connection with subject area experts from across the world: e.g., Your Fire Safety Lead

can join the Fire Safety Leads discussion list to learn from peers, and we create new lists

to unite people around areas of interest/responsibility and challenges/topics.

Thoughts?
