We will use the next 12 months to rethink and redesign a DGS process that can fairly and equitably respond to that growth. We also anticipate the demand for placement and DGS to continue growing, as interest in Burning Man and BRC has not waned. We hope extending this offer to 2023 encourages your camp to feel comfortable postponing their return for a year if that is the right decision for your group. If your camp chooses to defer in 2022, Placement will guarantee your DGS and placement for 2023. We also recognize that 2022 might not be the year for your theme camp or village to return, and if so, we highly encourage you to consider deferring this year.

We stated in the 2021 Placement Newsletter #2, вЂњThe pandemic has rattled all of our lives in many ways if we can make it to Burn this year, it will be enough of a feat.вЂќ We know the same applies at this very moment as groups, communities, and camps assess whether 2022 is a real possibility. The Placement team wants this return home to be easeful, and not have lack of placement be an obstacle for your homecoming. We also guaranteed placement for all theme camps and villages in good standing, and this commitment extends to 2022 (or 2023 if you take this year off).

The plan was to shift our process and update our guidelines to better sustain the culture and growing global community we all love. In 2019 we were also deep in the Cultural Direction Setting work that brought together theme camp leaders, staff across Black Rock City, and the Placement team to set a 10-year Cultural Vision for Residential BRC, address pinch-points in the placement process, and revise expectations of theme camps. The freedom, serendipity and interdependence that are facilitated by open camping have real value that we need to maintain. The demand for placement stressed our ability to maintain space for Burners who prefer finding a spot on their own.

That year, approximately 90% of BRCвЂ™s city blocks were reserved for placed camps, leaving only the last two blocks free for open camping. When we all last built Black Rock City in 2019, placement had reached a saturation point, with the highest number of theme camps seeking placement in the eventвЂ™s history.

WeвЂ™ve spent time over the past two years rethinking and fine-tuning how to improve what we do, and weвЂ™ll begin rolling out some changes in 2022 that will impact the shape of things to come. The Placement team faces the annual challenge of balancing old with new, big with small, and weaving together the technicolor quilt that is Black Rock City. This post about Black Rock CityвЂ™s 2022 Placement Process is coming earlier in the event-planning cycle because itвЂ™s going to take more time and effort to get our band back together again. But this is no typical year as we slowly thaw from a two-year freeze brought on by the global pandemic. In a typical year, many theme camps go quiet and hibernate in November.
