Ignite! 2019 Effigy Design Application

Hello Combustians! Do you have a passion for building big things and then burning them to the ground?  The Ignite! Planning Association is looking for an effigy designer for the 2019 event.  We will be accepting applications from now until January 15th. If your design is selected, you will be asked to create a volunteer team and build the effigy at Spirithaven.  We would like for the project to be finished by Wednesday evening so Combustians have time to explore the structure prior to the Effigy Burn on Saturday evening. The budget for this year is $1,500.
