Transformus Announcements & Opportunities
Transformus Announcements
Happy Spring Mysteria! We've got lots of opportunities for participants to step up and be an integral part of building Transformus 2009. There are chances for artists to receive grant money, we need a design for our tickets, effigy and temple, as well as opportunities for you to get involved in the leadership group as a Team Lead.
Transformus will again be held at Deerfields outside of Asheville, North Carolina Friday, July 17 through Monday, July 20, 2009. Specific gate times and early entry requirements will be posted closer to the event. Those of you who qualified for a first tier ticket, should have already snail mailed your money orders to the P.O. box by April 1. Reminder: a proper date stamp was required. Hand deliveries to personal residences will not be accepted. Mismatches between information in your profile and information on your money order and SASE will delay processing of tickets. Tickets not purchased will be allotted to those next in line.
Tier Two allocation will begin shortly after April 12 to allow for adequate processing time of Tier One tickets.
We need Team Leads and Co-Leads to help organize and run Transformus 2009. Whether you've helped in the past or are a newcomer to our leadership group, all are welcome to apply. Preference will be given to those with experience. http://www.transformus.com/volunteer-info/2009-volunteer-information-2.html
A Transformus Town Hall meeting will be held Saturday April 26 at Deerfields (please visit the website for further details… including possible gate closing times). Ranger training will be offered earlier that day and we’ll host a Town Hall at 5 p.m. where everyone gets a chance to speak. Bring something for the potluck that evening and join your fellow Mysterians around the fire on Saturday night. A work/play weekend is also on the horizon potentially in June. Again, see the website and wait for further information about both events.
Transformus needs a 2009 ticket design! This is a great chance for creative individuals to get their artwork into everyone's hands. The winner will be chosen by community vote. Email questions and design submissions to ticket...@transformus.com before the extended deadline of April 15.
The Transformus Board of Directors has generously allotted $10,000 towards Creativity Grants, our effigy, and this year's temple. Artists are the rock stars of our world and we want to ensure another year of fabulous creativity through proper funding. Our Creativity Grant jury is made up entirely of community members and they have total control over who gets what money. We invite you to share your creativity with the Transformus family! http://www.transformus.com/art-grants/2009-art-grants-2.html
General event volunteers will be solicited over the coming months into the event itself. Please be on the lookout for more opportunities to get involved and urge your fellow participants to do the same. It's up to each of you what kind of Mysteria we together build in 2009. Want kickass art and another amazing effigy? Step up and make it happen!
