MAJOR BURNABLE SCULPTURE (MBS) IDEAS REQUEST
The MBS team will convene from February to May to assemble this year’s MBS for our yearly Tygh Valley assembly.
We need YOU to tell us what to assemble and how!
The MBS is SOAK’s version of Burning Man’s Man. Just like The Man, all SOAK citizens are invited to watch the sculpture burn on Saturday evening of the event. That’s right - whatever sculpture we help you bring into being only has to be transported ONE WAY!! Fire will do the disassembling for us!! YAY FIRE!!! Unlike The Man, the MBS can be anything you want and not necessarily an effigy. Past examples of MBS’s include a phoenix, a rocket, a gnome castle, a battle narwhal, 5 people sharing 1 head and a puzzle cube.
The MBS doesn’t need to correspond with the year’s theme (Summer Camp), but it is preferred. Also, you don’t need to have building experience. All we need is your idea and good instructions, and we will materialize it for you. You are welcome to join the team during our weekend builds.
To help us understand your idea, you MUST send us a back-of-the-napkin-sketch/photo/detailed description of it. We’re looking forward to helping your concept become a reality and have you join our talented crew of MBS builders. We can even work with IKEA-style assembling instructions!
After the deadline, a group of people will then vote and select the best design. The deadline is only one week away, so you’ll need to act quickly!
