Greetings Mysterians,
As
July quickly approaches we are gearing up for the best Transformus to
date. The Transformus BOD and your Planning Committee has decided to
increase both the Effigy and Temple grants again to $1,200 this year.
Keeping that in mind, we are extending Effigy and Temple submissions
until Sunday, May 17, 2009 at 10:00pm to EVERYONE and ANYONE in this community.
To be considered for the full funding, two participants must request
funding for the same project. (i.e. 2 requests for $599.00 each) This
is for tax purposes only. All Effigy design submittals should be emailed to eff...@transformus.com and Temple design submittals should be emailed to tem...@transformus.com The guide lines again are as follows:
We
encourage freedom of expression in how you present your creativity, but
each Creativity Grant application must be submitted electronically and
contain the following information:
Your (real name) contact information to include physical mail address, email addresses, and day and night phone numbers. To protect your privacy, Transformus LLC will not ever sell or distribute your personal information or use it outside of its organization.
A detailed description of the project: We want to know everything there is to know about what we are funding...so don’t forget to describe the physical aspects (such as dimensions and materials) as well as the intangibles (such as interactivity and content). Please tell us what it means to you and what you’re trying to communicate to the community. Also the Effigy and Temple must contain some form of Bamboo and be no taller than 30 feet high. The Effigy will be the focus of the burn on Saturday night and must be burned in the burn field no matter what, and the Temple will be the main focus for the Sunday night art burn.
Safety: Please let us know what safety precautions you have planned. Projects must be able to withstand weather conditions, pedestrian traffic, interaction both intentional and accidental, and of course if it is to burn at the art burn Sunday – there must be a burn/safety plan clearly articulated. If it will burn, tell us what kind of environmental protection you will provide, what kinds of safety gear you will be bringing, and what type of burn perimeter you’ll have. If you are going to burn it in the Sunday night artist burn, please tell us. If you are going to use any kind of flame effect, please describe the design of the rigs and setups that you will be using in enough detail that we can judge if it will be a safety hazard at Deerfields, including your safety plans and safety gear. If you are going to be creating an art vehicle, especially an art boat, describe to us how it will get around and what kinds of safety gear you are going to be providing. ***For over the top art and dangerous art pieces, such as flame cannons and mobile art, please familiarize yourself with the unique environment of Deerfields before applying, and specifically explain how your art piece will interact with the environment and the participants.
An itemized budget including material costs, transportation of materials to and from Mysteria, equipment rental, and expendables (fuel, water) etc. is expected. Please be sure to total your budget. We do not pay for camping expenses like food, water, camping gear, your ticket, and your personal transport to and from the event. Have you researched your needs and realistically assessed costs? We want to know how prepared you are to go through with the project creation process.
A schedule and timeline should be supplied reflecting your budget and project management goals e.g., when materials will be purchased, when stages of construction will be completed, etc. Please include an onsite timeline as well which details the set up and cleanup schedules.
Detailed drawings, photographs, architectural diagrams, sketches, plans, short movies, or other graphic illustrations of your project.
A well thought out clean-up plan, with adequate crew to complete it. YOU MAY NOT LEAVE ANYTHING AT MYSTERIA. That’s right if it comes with your project it leaves with your project. There will be no exceptions.
Team Information: Who are you? Specifically, tell us if you have attended Transformus before, if you have received arts grants before, what kind of an artistic background you have. (Please note we are only asking about you for our own records and this information will not be used in judging the merits of your application concerning a possible arts grant award.
