What If (previously Burn in the Forest) has been recognized as a Burning Man Official Regional Event for many years.
Receiving this status is an honour, and we want to ensure that everyone feels included in the creation of our flagship community event.
This official status allows GVIAS and the What If Production team to utilize the trademarked logo and words such as ‘Burning Man’ in their materials and promotion. The Burning Man Vancouver Regional Contacts are tasked with overseeing and ensuring that the event adheres to all guidelines, requirements and that the event follows Burning Man’s 10 Principles. Guidelines include such things as making sure the event is:
- Properly permitted (occupancy, fire, sound, etc) and in accordance with local laws.
- Properly insured, naming the associated organizing entity, and “Black Rock City, LLC” as additional insured.
- Has safety/medical, security and appropriate fire safety plans, including considerations for COVID-19 precautions.
- All accounting must be transparent.
- Post event wrap up reports & Financials posted publicly.
- Any funds raised should benefit the entire community.
We are grateful to the event Production Teams, to the GVIAS Board and to our community for the care and attention to these guidelines.
