Describe your hole design:

What experience do you have that makes you confident you can build this?

Will you be able to set your hole up in about an hour or two? (The majority of your holes build should be done prior to the event, we are just referencing the time you will need to set up at New belgium, day of the event)

Will your design be ok if it rains?

Please note the holes will remain outside for the entirety of the event and weekend. They will be exposed to all weather elements.

Do you have any safety concerns? (If yes, please explain)

**Important! Please keep in mind that this is an all ages and public event. There are many kids who will be playing on the holes. While we will be working to encourage parent supervision, it's important to keep this in mind while designing and building your hole. For example: No loose or unattached objects that can be removed and taken, nothing to climb, make holes as sturdy as possible.

Please submit two drawings of your hole design. An overhead drawing that includes dimensions and a 3D look at your hole with as much detail as possible for us to understand your concept. (Hand drawn, simple, sketches are fine- we just need to visualize your idea)*
