DEAR COMMUNITY,

We know many people are eager to hear about what events will be taking place this year. While there are still many uncertainties ahead of us all, Element 11 is presently planning on an event for this year. Previously held early to mid summer, this year we have opted to move the event to September 23-26 2021.

We believe pushing the event to September will give us the best chance at being able to throw Element 11. We hope that with vaccine availability, diligent social distancing, and responsible best practices, we will all be able to come together this fall to celebrate and reconnect the way we all know best!

In the case that an in-person event can not be safely held at Stargazer Ranch, an online event or similar safe alternatives will be held during the same dates. We will continue to be transparent and announce any changes and developments.

We will do our best to create an immediacy of experience and personal connection, encouraging relationships and collaborations that enable people to act more powerfully than individuals alone could dream, no matter the platform. Keep smiling, spreading love and caring about each other. We will see you in September!

With love,

The Element 11 BOD

THEME ART SUBMISSIONS
ARE NOW OPEN!

The Basics

Our theme for 2021 is Phoenix Rises! Take some time. Meditate on the intention that this theme expresses. Contemplate your vision for bringing that intention into the world. The winning theme art submission will be a modern graphics package of design elements interpreting Phoenix Rising in a way that resonates with our Element 11 community. All appropriate submissions will be displayed online and put to a community vote, in April 2021. The winning submission will be awarded 2 tickets to Element 11 2021!*

The Specifics

The winning submission should use no more than 3 colors in the main design elements. For example, the 3 color astronaut in the sample featured below is a main element in a design containing many other colors. (Example was designed by Laurie Rader). Adhering to these parameters will allow you to create a full-color design, while also allowing Element 11 to screen print your design without significant alteration.

Because the winning submission will be used in multiple applications, it should either be in a form that can be easily modified digitally, or recreated manually in at least these 3 different size and layout iterations: Ticket (666 x 1764 px), laminate badge (888 x 1317 px), and booklet size (3337 x 6000 px). The winning design should also be of print quality resolution, 300 dpi.

If you’re still not sure what all of that means, we invite you to reach out either through email: info@element11.org, or to ask/collaborate with one of the professional graphic designers you may already know.

Please email your completed submission to art@element11.org no later than midnight on April 24, 2021. Thank you! We are excited to see the results of your creativity!

*If the event is postponed, the tickets will transfer to the next event.
