If you haven't experienced Lightning in a Bottle firsthand, you may not know what a massive team effort the festival really is. Ask a veteran and they'll be sure to explain: every attendee being an integral part of the festival is what makes LIB so magical. LIB thrives on active participation from everyone involved - so get out there and DO somethin with us! You will be sooo glad you did.
Start participating now! We're looking for help in 3 main areas: Volunteers, Workshops, and Art Projects.
Volunteer Application is Live!
The long wait is finally over - you can now sign up to be a volunteer! We have a number of volunteer opportunities this year, so let us know your skills on the application form. There are three levels of volunteer commitment with 3 levels of ticket discount this year (including a free ticket discount). Pick what works best for you!

Workshops
L.I.B. stands for Leave It Better, Leave It Beautiful!
We are taking it a step beyond Leave No Trace, and striving to leave the environment even more beautiful than we found it. And we want YOU to leave the event feeling better than you came, with more knowledge and skills to go home and continue the L.I.B. philosophy in your home environment.
That's why this year we are unveiling an unprecedented line-up of urban homesteading, sustainability, and natural living "How-To" workshops that will give you the opportunity to learn in one weekend how to literally change your lifestyle. Grow your own food, make your own healthy dishes, and compost it back into your own garden! Keep your eyes out for an upcoming Green Guide on all the supplies you can bring to LIB workshops so you can create on site and go home all set up and ready to go.
We are also giving the community the opportunity to showcase and share what you know! If you are interested in promoting yourself and your organization while leading the way and sharing invaluable knowledge on healthy sustainable living with the community, let us know (http://lightninginabottle.org/workshop-application/), and pass on the word to your earth-wise friends!
Here are some of the subjects we're looking for - Share what you know and get a discounted LIB ticket!

Art
Bring your art to LIB! This is an art festival after all - show everyone what your heart is screaming to be shared! For the most part we have a "just bring it policy" towards art projects. Bring it, build it, share it, celebrate it!
However, if your art project has special needs (large size, safety issues, need help from event production to make it happen, etc), then please give us a heads up through the art submission form. If its a beautiful, cool, or crazy (in a good way) project, we'll work with you to make it happen!
