Hi! Friendly neighborhood Effigy department here with something new and shiny!
 
We’re hosting a community Q&A session on Wednesday October 16th (8:30 PM EST/7:30 PM CST)  – because we want YOU to submit an effigy design for next year!   This is a chance to ask questions, learn about the application process & requirements, and make some connections with other folks who might make great teammates (hint, hint).
Things we’ll cover:
– working with the theme (Doorways in Time)
– the application process
– how we can help you
– things to consider if you’re applying
 
Plus we’ll answer questions and share some resources to get you started.
