Effigy and Temple Design Submissions

Effigy and Temple Design

Are you interested in submitting a proposal to design and build one of the two iconic structures at Blazing Swan? Then why dont you unleash the creative inside you and send in a design proposal!

Your designs can be as weird and wonderful as you want, but it must be a workable design in order to be considered for shortlisting.

General points to consider

• Both structures will be burnt so you must follow the principle of Leave No Trace. This will have to be part of your proposal plan.
• The Blazing Swan theme might influence your design. Remmber 2019’s Happy As Larry Effigy design?
• It is common for the Effigy to feature a swan, so incorporate this somewhere.
• The Temple needs to be a sacred space and a quiet place for reflection, but not in recognition of any religion.
