Did you miss your chance to purchase first-tier tickets to Euphoria: The Georgia Burn? You may be in luck! The Euphoria Event Leads have set aside ten scholarship tickets, which will be distributed under a merit-based system. One ticket will be awarded to the creator of the best educational media that creatively and effectively illustrates each of the Ten Principles. Do you think you have what it takes to explain your favorite principle to the Burner community and the world?

You are free to work in any medium to communicate the Principles. Create a short film! A mixed-media canvas painting! A web-based video game! A high-design digital poster! Creative essays! Although any creation can be entered to win, submissions that can be easily duplicated and distributed by the Euphoria Education Team will receive priority.

Submissions will be judged by the Education and Event Lead Teams, and winners will be announced each week. Only one entry per person, per principle. Collaboration is welcome and encouraged, but remember that only one ticket will be awarded per entry. Create a submission for each of the Ten Principles to maximize your chances!

Send completed entries along with your name and contact information to eventleads@euphoriaburn.com.

The good news is that we are increasing the cap by 249, which will make Euphoria bigger but hopefully without any growing pains.

The bad news, as you’ve probably noticed, is that ticket prices have gone up. That’s not something we are happy about, but it did have to happen. Yes, this means Alchemy’s ticket price will go up, too. We currently don’t know by how much as we’re still working on that. However, we anticipate that these events will still be at a price point in keeping with community expectations for regional burns of similar size and scope. First off, we’re expanding our insurance coverage. Previously, we’ve had one insurance policy covering each event. We still need that, and, the bigger the event, the more the insurance costs. We also need to add additional insurance to protect the organization as a whole and its ongoing operations.

Second, as the events themselves grow, the budgets grow as well. Often, the expenses do not grow in a parallel linear fashion with size growth, requiring an uptick in ticket prices.

Third, in addition to our expanded insurance costs and coverage, the organization has a number of costs in 2013 to resolve tax and financial issues from prior years. We have hired professionals to assist with the resolution of these outstanding organizational issues in order to ensure the continuing longevity of the organization and all the events.

That’s it, in a nutshell. In the interest of transparency, we will report all of these organizational costs as per our regular financial reporting through the Afterburn Reports or as otherwise appears appropriate. If you have any more specific questions, please feel free to contact us at board@alchemyburn.com.
