THE 2025 GPE LOGO CONTEST - Submit your masterpiece

THE 2025 GPE LOGO CONTEST - Submit your masterpiece

Once again, the call goes out: who will design the logo that defines Gate, Perimeter, & Exodus in 2025?

This is your chance to etch your name into GPE lore, slap your art onto swag, and bask in the admiration (or at least a dusty PBR-raised nod of respect) of your peers. Only one design will emerge victorious—will it be yours?

HOW TO PLAY

No janky pixelated nonsense, vector format only. If you don’t know what this means, now’s a great time to learn or team up with someone who does.

Your design must include:

  • The words “Gate, Perimeter, & Exodus”
  • The words “Black Rock City”
  • A lock
  • A key
  • The number 13 (subtle or screaming, up to you)

Also, skulls are not required, but if history tells us anything, they improve your odds.

THE SACRED TIMELINE

February 26 – Logo contest opens.

March 19 – Logo contest closes. No late entries, no exceptions.

March 25 – The voting begins. Peers will weigh in, but the final call of who wins and who gets cast into the pits of almost-greatness goes to Gate Management Staff.

WHERE TO SEND YOUR GENIUS

Email your submission to captainchoo-choo@burningman.org and CC fowler@burningman.org.

Once the dust settles, the victorious design may go through some tweaks before it is enshrined in Gatewear history.

The choice is yours: submit something legendary or spend another year kicking yourself for not trying (Hear that?? Get sketching).

Have questions? Need emotional support? Yell into the void or email us.

May your locks be secure, your keys plentiful, and your number 13s well-placed.

Yours, faithfully, in Gatewear
