WELCOME!

Welcome to the DMV's Mutant Vehicle Statement of Intent Survey!

Hey there, Mutant Vehicle teams!

This Mutant Vehicle Statement of Intent (MVSOI) survey is our initial check-in for Black Rock City 2026. Just as the Placement team uses their Theme Camp SOI to understand the plans of placed Theme Camps, we are expanding this process to better gauge the needs and intentions of all Mutant Vehicle projects, both new and returning.

The Mutant Vehicle Statement of Intent (MVSOI) is for all Mutant Vehicle teams who plan to bring their vehicle to Black Rock City 2026, those who may want to take a year off, or those who seek access to purchase tickets in the spring Stewards Sale.

The MVSOI is a planning tool that helps the DMV understand:
  • Your Vehicle's Intent: What vehicle you plan to bring and its current status.
  • Stewards Sale Ticket Needs: The total number of tickets your Mutant Vehicle team and associated support camp members will require to get to the playa.
  • Placement Needs: Does your team intend to request placement as a Mutant Vehicle Support Camp (as opposed to being part of another type of Placed Camp).
Stewards Sale Ticket Access

The Stewards Sale takes place before the main public sales and is designed to support the teams actively building and supporting projects that significantly contribute to Black Rock City. We know ticket access is critical, and we aim to supply tickets to all MV teams to meet the essential needs of their team and support camp.

What to Expect

The survey will ask you about your vehicle project, the total size of your Mutant Vehicle crew and Support Team, whether you require a Mutant Vehicle Support Camp, and your anticipated ticket needs. It should take less than 10 minutes to complete.

Please be thoughtful and realistic when estimating your total team/support camp size and its corresponding ticket needs. Your careful planning helps us manage resources effectively for all teams.

A Few Key Notes

This Survey Does Not Replace Your Mutant Vehicle Application!

This SOI is for initial planning and ticket access only. You still need to submit a separate, full application for your Mutant Vehicle to be considered for an official license in 2026. requesting a placed Mutant Vehicle Support Camp, you will need to fill out a Placed Camp Questionnaire. Mutant Vehicle Registration and and the Placed Camp Questionnaire will open Mid-February, 2026.

Inclusion in the Stewards Sale Does Not Guarantee your Mutant Vehicle's invitation or camp placement.
Because the Stewards Sale happens before registration opens, completing the survey and participating in the sale doesn't guarantee your Mutant Vehicle will be invited this year or that you will receive Placement for a Mutant Vehicle Support Camp.

If you have any questions while filling out the survey, please don't hesitate to email us at dmv@burningman.org.

Thank you for your creativity, dedication, and incredible contribution to Black Rock City. Your unique vision is essential to the magic of the playa, and we look forward to seeing your plans!
