Burn2 Events in 2025

Call for Themes: Burnal Equinox and Conception

As we continue our planning for the upcoming events in 2025, Burnal Equinox and Conception, we recall the many wonderful theme ideas submitted for Winter Burn. We know this fabulously creative community can come through again with themes to fit Burnal Equinox and Conception.

Burnal Equinox (Dates: March 28-30, 2025): this is the event that marks roughly the halfway point between our big Burns, hence "equinox".
Conception (Dates: July 25-27, 2025): Conception celebrates our origins as a presence and virtual regional of Burning Man in SL.

Teams will be forming for Burnal Equinox in early February. After the community votes, the event team will make the final theme selection for the event.

Teams will form for Conception in late May or early June. Conception event dates: July 25-27, 2025. After the community votes, this event team will make the final theme selection for the event.

BUT WAIT! Along with your theme suggestion, you can also upload a poster that illustrates your vision of the theme. It doesn't have to be perfectly created, that can be refined later if your theme is selected. It serves to give a good view of what your vision is. Just indicate you have a poster to upload, and send it along with your theme.
