Playa Event Rules

The following types of events are not permitted:
- Offers of services or goods for purchase or exchange of value (real-life examples: windsurf equipment rental; buy our NFTs to attend a talk, etc.)
- Offensive slurs or content intended to harm or offend any person or group
- Names of business entities (real life examples: yoga studios, meditation centers, performing collectives, dojos)
- Announcing/promoting DJ lineups or bands playing albums
- Touring artists, performers, authors, coaches selling their services, yoga/reiki teachers (hint: if we google you and can immediately find your booking info or a Bandcamp account, it’s a no.)
- Consumer brand names and promotions
- Think of it as amateurs versus professionals — if your goal is to make money from your event in some manner, whether on-playa or some time in the future, it doesn’t belong here
- If you are a professional performer/artist, you may not use your IRL (In Real Life) name to promote yourself
- No promotion of any entities connected to a commercial activity, including non-profits
- Nonprofits providing an event for the good of the community are allowed to be named, but it is at the moderators’ discretion to approve/reject the event or edit the listing as needed
- In general, promotions such as “listen to Ellie May’s newly released album” are not okay. Black Rock City is a decommodified space! Themed events such as “Frank Sinatra Sing-Along” or “David Bowie Listening Party” are fine, since both are likely not trying to sell albums and are probably not going to show up in Black Rock City. We welcome events for mature audiences, but these should not be labeled as “for kids.” Please be aware that your event description may be edited at the moderators’ discretion and if your event is rejected, you can adjust it to fit within the guidelines and resubmit. You are welcome to write to us at [insert Help Link] to discuss your event’s moderation.
