Applications are now open for the What If 2026 Temple and the Effigy!

As announced at Tuesday’s Town Hall…
In an effort to give artists more time to incorporate this year’s theme into their design, we’re staggering the application close dates:

  • Temple Applications close Monday, December 8
  • Effigy Applications close Saturday, December 20

The chosen designs will be selected by January 1, giving seven months of build time!

More information and the application form can be found here: https://whatif.now/participate/effigy-temple-application/
