Committed to safety and protecting our woods, our event strictly adheres to all fire regulations, with the addition of vigilant volunteers on hand to manage the effigy and temple burn responsibly amidst regional forest fires.

Project grants

  • Theme camp
  • Art
  • Adopt-a-road
  • L’OsstidBurn recognizes the central role played by the camps in the stimulation and perpetuation of Burner culture and in the success of the event. The primary purpose of this bursary is to encourage and support new theme camp projects. It is intended to support the general material needs for the realisation of a common project.

    Max. amount granted: $250/camp

  • This grant aims to encourage and support the creation of works of art. The project must be part of a co-participatory and collaborative vision. It must seek to provoke human interaction, whether to activate or complement the work, to spur action or simply to get people thinking about the principles of Burning Man. The work may take the form of a structure, an object or a performance, and may or may not be integrated into a thematic camp.

    Max. amount granted: $500/project.

  • The basis of this grant added in 2019 is to promote the lighting of the trails, which is still a very important issue for the safety of the event. It aims to encourage small artistic projects that will be installed on the edges of the paths – main and access roads to the camps – to illuminate and decorate the site in an original way.

    Max. amount granted: $150/project
